Answer: x = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have 3 triangles, one big and two smaller ones, one at the left and other at the right.
Now, the right sides is shared by the right smaller triangle and the big triangle, if this length is Z, we have that (using the angle in top of it, A, such that 64 is adjacent to A.)
Cos(A) = 64/Z
Cos(A) = Z/(64 +225)
We can take the quotient of those two equations and get:
Then:
Z = √(18,496) = 136.
now, we have that for the smaller triangle one cathetus is equal to 64 and the hypotenuse is equal to 136.
Then, using the Pythagorean theorem:
64^2 + x^2 = 136^2
x = √(136^2 - 64^2) = 120
Answer:
550 mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A net can be drawn as shown in the first figure attached. Each square represents 5 mm by 5 mm, so is 25 mm^2. Altogether, there are 22 of them, so the total area is ...
(25 mm^2)·22 = 550 mm^2
The second attachment shows that net folded up to make the given figure.
_____
In the first attachment, the green shades represent the left- and right-side faces. (Darker green is left side.) The red and blue shades represent the front- and back-side faces. The white rectangles represent the top and bottom faces. The dark black lines are the cut lines. If you want to fold the figure up, the lighter lines are the fold lines.
The second attachment is just verification that all faces are accounted for and the net actually corresponds to the given figure.
