Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The quadrilateral is Parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is a four-sided regular polygon.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral.

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length.

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are also equal.

In this case the quadrilateral is defined as follows:

two angles that each measure 60°
two angles that each measure 120°
Only two of the sides have a length of 3.2 inches.

Consider the quadrilateral ABCD below.

The quadrilateral ABCD is Parallelogram.

the area of a triangle is 124 square units. what would it's new area be if its base was half as long and its height was three ti

Montano1993 [528]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that the formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

A=bh/2

Where A is the area of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

bh/2=124
bh=124x2
bh=248

2. The problem asks for the new area of the triangle <span>if its base was half as long and its height was three times as long. Then, you have:

Base=b/2
Height=3h

3. Therefore, when you substitute this into the formula for calculate the area of a triangle, you obtain:

A'=bh/2

(A' is the new area)

A'=(b/2)(3)/2
A'=3bh/4

4. When you substitute bh=248 into </span>A'=3bh/4, you obtain:
<span>
A'=186 units</span>²
<span>
The answer is: </span>186 units²
