See diagram
I wrote that the degrees are 70 each because it is isocolese and 140/2=70


a.
to solve for the diagonal, I'm going to use trig to find the height and the base then use pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal

so
see I've drawn an auxiliry line to make a right triangle on the leftmost side
so
we want to find the height and base
sin(70°)=h/7
so 7sin(70°)=h≈6.57785

cos(70°)=base/7
so 7cos(70°)=base≈2.39414

now
the entire long base is 22, so that big triangle with the diagonal as the hyptonuse is 22-2.39414=19.6059
use pythagorean theorem, like 6.57785²+19.6059²=diagonal²
we get that the diagonal is about 20.68ft




b.
we got that the base was 7cos(70°)
2 of those bases so 22-14cos(70°)=17.2117ft or rounded 17.21ft




a. 20.68ft
b. 17.21ft

Perimeter of the triangle below ?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

31x^2-13x

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the perimeter of a triangle, add all sides.

P=a+b+c

P=(5x^2+x)+(8x^2-3x)+(18x^2-11x)

combine like terms

5x^2+8x^2-18x^2= 31x^2

x-3x-11x= -13x

31x^2-13x

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!
Maslowich
The side of the barn is made of 2 shapes, a triangle and a rectangle. Find the area of each shape, then add together to find the total area.

To find the area of the triangle, we multiply 1/2 x (triangle base x triangle height), we can find the triangle height by subtracting the height on the right by the height on the left, so 26.5-14.5 = 12.5ft.

The area of the triangle is 1/2 x (22.8x12.5) = 142.5 square ft.

The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying one side by the other, which is 22.8x14.5 = 330.6 square feet.

The total area of the side of the barn is 330.6 + 142.5 = 473.1 square feet.



Since we now know the area of the side of the barn, we can find the cost of paint needed. A one gallon paint can covers 350 square feet and costs $20, but we need to paint 473.1 square feet so we'll need to buy a second can. This means we can easily paint the side of the barn with 2 cans, costing $40 in paint.
