Check the picture below.

now, we know that the slanted legs are congruent, since it's an isosceles trapezoid, we also know that the bases are the parallel sides, so, the "altitude" or distance from those bases are the same length, for each of those triangles in the picture.

now, the bases are parallel, that means the altitude segment is perpendicular to the base, the longest side at the bottom, so, we end up with a right-triangle that has a Hypotenuse and a Leg, equal to the other triangle's.

thus, by the HL theorem for right triangles, both of those triangles are congruent, and if the triangles are congruent, all their sides are also, including the ones on the base.

Gavin, Sarah, and Pip share £136 in a ratio of 3:2:3. How much money does each person get?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

gavin gets £51

pip gets £51

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 2 + 3 = 8

136 ÷ 8 = 17, so 1 = 17

gavin = 3 x 17 (51)

sarah = 2 x 17 ( 34)

pip = 3x17 (51)

51+51+34= 136

HELP PLEASE!)
natima [27]
It should be 376,656 ft^2 bc
1. square the bases (456 x 456 = 207936)
2. four triangles 4(1/2 x base x height) which would be 4(1/2 x 456 x 185) = 168720
then add up 168720 + 207936 = 376656
hope this helps :D

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

32+78+x=180

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangle angles add up to 180, so add 78 and 32 then subtract it from 180 to get x, which in another form is 32+78+x=180.
