Answer:

48\sqrt{3} cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: Trapezoid ABCD with bases AB and CD, m∠C=m∠D=60°, AB = BC = 8 cm.

m∠C=m∠D=, two base angles are same. It means ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid.

Draw perpendiculars from A and B on side CD. Both triangles ADE and BCF are congruent.

In a right angled triangle,

\cos \theta =\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\sin \theta =\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In triangle ADE,

\cos 60 =\frac{DE}{AD}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{DE}{8}

\frac{8}{2}=DE

4=DE

The value of DE is 4.

\sin 60 =\frac{AE}{AD}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} =\frac{AE}{8}

\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2} =AE

4\sqrt{3}=AE

The height of the trapezoid is 4\sqrt{3}. The length of base DC is

DC=DE+EF+FC

DC=4+8+4=16

The area of a trapezoid is

A=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h

where, a and b are bases of the trapezoid.

A=\frac{8+16}{2}\times 4\sqrt{3}

A=12\times 4\sqrt{3}

A=48\sqrt{3}

Therefore the area of trapezoid ABCD is 48\sqrt{3} cm².

Calculate the amount and the compound interest on Rs 12.000 in 2 years at 10%
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Amount = p( 1+r/100) ^n

= 12000 ( 1+10/100) ²

= 12000( 10/10+1/10) ²

= 12000( 11/10) ²

= 12000 x 11/10 x 11/10

= 14520 rs.

Compund interest = amount - principal

= 14520 - 12000

= 2520rs.

Zack and Noah jogged 2/5 of a mile and walked another 1/4 of a mile. How far did they go in all?
Basile [38]
Find a common denominator. The lowest one would come from you multiplying 2/5 by 4 on each side and 1/4 by 5 on each side. You are left with 8/20 and 5/20, added together would be 13/20.
