Answer:

The area of ABCD is 36 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ABCD is a parallelogram, E is the midpoint of BC and AE ∩ BD=F.

In triangle EBF and ADF

\angle FBE=\angle FDA          (Alternate interior angles)

\angle FEB=\angle FAD          (Alternate interior angles)

\angle BFE=\angle DFA          (Vertically opposite angles)

Therefore triangle EBF and ADF are similar triangles by AA rule.

The sides BC and AD are opposite sides of parallelogram, therefore their lengths are equal. E is midpoint of BC.

\frac{BC}{AD}=\frac{1}{2}

If a point divides the side of a triangle in m:n, then the line segment between the point and the opposite vertex, divides the area of triangle is m:n.

Therefore the sides of triangle are in proportion of 1:2 and we can say that the point F divides the line EA and BD in 1:2.

In triangle ABE, the line BF divides the area of triangle is 1:2.

\text{ Area of }\triangle BEF:\text{ Area of }\triangle ABF=1:2

\text{ Area of }\triangle ABF=2\text{ Area of }\triangle BEF

A_{\triangle ABF}=2A_{\triangle BEF}

A_{\triangle ABF}=2\times 3=6

In triangle ABD, the line FA divides the area of triangle is 1:2.

\text{ Area of }\triangle ABF:\text{ Area of }\triangle DFA=1:2

\text{ Area of }\triangle DFA=2\text{ Area of }\triangle ABF

A_{\triangle DFA}=2A_{\triangle ABF}

A_{\triangle DFA}=2\times 6=12

A_{\triangle ABD}=A_{\triangle ABF}+A_{\triangle ADF}

A_{\triangle ABD}=6+12=18

Since AD is a diagonal of the parallelogram, therefore AD divides the area of parallelogram in two equal parts.

A_{\triangle ABCD}=2A_{\triangle ABD}

A_{\triangle ABCD}=2\times 18=36

Therefore the area of ABCD is 36 cm².

Find the coordinates of P ' if D o, 2.4 (x,y) is applied to the triangle below
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The coordinates of P' are (4.8,-4.8).

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of dilation D_{o,2.4}(x,y) represent the dilation with scale factor 2.4 and center at origin.

If the scale factor of the dilation is k and the center is (0,0), then

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

Since the scale factor is 2.4, therefore

(x,y)\rightarrow (2.4x,2.4y)

From the given figure it is noticed that the coordinates of P are (2,-2). The coordinates of P' are

P(2,-2)\rightarrow P'(2.4(2),2.4(-2))

P(2,-2)\rightarrow P'(4.8,-4.8)

Therefore the coordinates of P' are (4.8,-4.8).

JulijaS [17]

Total number of trees n = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10. Count the number of each different trees. n1=4, n2=3, n3=3. Number of ways the landscaper plant the trees in a row is = 10 ! / ( 4! * 3! * 3! ) = 3628800 / ( 24 * 6 * 6 ) = 3628800 / 864 = 4200 ways.

Therefore, the trees can be planted 4200 ways
