The length of a diagonal of a square is 7.5 mm. Find the area of the square.

1 answer:

7 0

By Pythagoreans' theorem,

7.5² = l² × b²
56.25 = l² × b²

Since l = b
56.25 ÷ 2
= l²/b²
= 28.125 mm

∴ l = √28.125
= 5.3033 mm

Area of square
= √28.125 × √28.125
= 28.125 mm²
≈ 28.1 mm² (3s.f.)

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statements: Reasons:

$1)\, XY=XZ$ Given

$2) \text{ $ m\angle Y= m\angle Z$}$ Isosceles Triangle Theorem

$\displaystyle 3) \text{ $m\angle Y=m\angle XYQ + \angle QYZ$}$ Angle Addition

$\displaystyle 4)\text{ $YQ$ bisects $\angle XYZ$}$ Given

$5) \text{ $m\angle XYQ=m\angle QYZ$}$ Definition of Bisector

$\displaystyle 6)\text{ $m\angle Y=2m\angle QYZ$}$ Substitution

$7)\text{ $m\angle Z=m\angle XZP+m\angle PZY$}$ Angle Addition

$8)\text{ $ZP$ bisects $\angle XZY$}$ Given

$\displaystyle 9) \text{ $m\angle XZP=m\angle PZY$ }$ Definition of Bisector

$\displaystyle 10) \text{ $ m\angle Z = 2m\angle PZY $}$ Substitution

$11)\text{ } 2m\angle QYZ=2m\angle PZY$ Substitution

$12)\text{ }m\angle QYZ=m\angle PZY$ Division Property of Equality

$13)\text{ } YZ=YZ$ Reflexive Property

$14)\text{ } \Delta YZP\cong\Delta ZYQ$ Angle-Side-Angle Congruence*

$15)\text{ } YQ=ZP$ CPCTC

*For clarification:

∠Y = ∠Z

YZ = YZ (or ZY)

∠PZY = ∠QYZ

So, Angle-Side-Angle Congruence:

ΔYZP is congruent to ΔZYQ

The base of a triangular prism is a right triangle with a base of 5 inches, a height of 12 inches, and a third side length of 13

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

690 sq in

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = LA + 2B where LA is the lateral area and B is the area of the base

The triangular base has an area of

B = 1/2bh 1/2(5)(12) = 30

LA = ph where p is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism

LA = (12 + 5 + 13)(21) = 30(21) = 630

SA = 630 + 2(30) = 630 + 60 = 690 sq in

Can u please find the length of BC round to the nearest tenth

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using sine rule

SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c

A = 84° a = BC, C = 51°, c = 16

Sin84/BC = Sin51/16

Cross multiply

BC Sin51 = 16 × Sin84

BC = 15.91/Sin51

BC = 20.48unit
