Answer:
if you divided 200 by 5.50 the answer will be 36.3636363636
Remark
You don't have to decompose the second one, and it is better if you don't. Just find the area as you probably did: use the formula for a trapezoid. You have to assume that the 6cm line hits the 2 bases at right angles for each of them, otherwise, you don't know the height. So I'm going to assume that we are in agreement about the second one.
Problem One
The answer for this one has to be broken down and unfortunately, you answer is not right for the total area, although you might get 52 for the triangle. Let's check that out.
<em><u>Triangle</u></em>
Area = 1/2 * b * h
base = 16 cm
h = 10 - 4 = 6
Area = 1/2 * 16 * 6
Area = 48
<em><u>Area of the Rectangle</u></em>
Area = L * W
L = 16
W = 4
Area = L * W
Area = 16 * 4
Area = 64
<em><u>Total Area</u></em>
Area = 64 + 48
Area = 112 of both figures <<<< Answer
The triangle is an isosceles triangle with exactly two congruent angles.
Since the two 45-deg angles are congruent, their opposite sides are also congruent. That makes y = 5.
This triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is sqrt(2) times the length of the legs.
The hypotenuse has length x, so x = 5 * sqrt(2) = 5sqrt(2)
Answer: B. x = 5sqrt(2), y = 5
This is an equality. There is no answer, by only using the given information, that can be found for "x".
