Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
the height a creates with half of the baseline (5) and a leg (10) a right-angled triangle, and we can use Pythagoras to calculate a.
c² = a² + b²
c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle, so in our case the 10 side).
10² = a² + 5²
100 = a² + 25
75 = a²
a = sqrt(75) = sqrt(3×25) = 5×sqrt(3)
Answer:
<u>The difference in areas:</u>
- 124 - 34 = 90 square feet
<u>Percent increase:</u>
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 x (a+b) x h = area
1/2 x ( 40 + x ) x 50 = 1750
1/2 (40 + x )= 1750/50
20 + 1/2x = 35
1/2 x = 35 - 20
x = 15 x 2
= 30
I hope this is right :)
