Answer:

$\frac{35}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to write the mixed fraction as a fractional number, as follows:

$3 1/3 = 3 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9+1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}$

$5 1/4 = 5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20+1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}$

Then, evaluating the expression:

$\frac{10}{3}$ × $\frac{21}{4}$ = $\frac{210}{12}$ = $\frac{35}{2}$

Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 cm and AC = 5 cm.

Answer:

$6+2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}\approx 15.17\:\mathrm{cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral ABCD consists of two triangles. By adding the area of the two triangles, we get the area of the entire quadrilateral.

Vertices A, B, and C form a right triangle with legs $AB=3$ , $BC=4$ , and $AC=5$ . The two legs, 3 and 4, represent the triangle's height and base, respectively.

The area of a triangle with base $b$ and height $h$ is given by $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ . Therefore, the area of this right triangle is:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3\cdot 4=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12=6\:\mathrm{cm^2}$

The other triangle is a bit trickier. Triangle $\triangle ADC$ is an isosceles triangles with sides 5, 5, and 4. To find its area, we can use Heron's Formula, given by:
