Answer:
Area of the trapezium ABDE = 30 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezium = 
Here, 
and 
are the parallel sides of the trapezium
h = Distance between the parallel sides
From the picture attached,
ΔCAE and ΔCBD are the similar triangles.
So by the property of similarity their sides will be proportional.
CE = 
CE = 12 cm
Therefore, DE = CE - CD
DE = 12 - 8 = 4 cm
Now area of trapezium ABDE = 
= 
= 30 cm²
Therefore, area of the trapezium ABDE = 30 cm²
Answer:
x = 14.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so we know that a triangle has a total interior degree of 180°. And since we already have a 95° angle, we just need to subtract 95 from 180.
180° - 95° = 85°
Now, we already have indicators that two of the three sides are equal. And we already got the angle of the side that does not have a matching partner. So we just need to divide what we already have by 2.
85° / 2 = 42.5°
Now that we know each side is 42.5 degrees, we just need to grab our given equation and put and equal sign at the end with what we already know is the answer (since we are trying to solve for <em>x</em>).
(4x - 15) = 42.5
Now, let's just get rid of those useless parentheses.
4x - 15 = 42.5
Next, we just need to have the variable on its own side, all by itself. So, in order to do that, we just add 15 to both sides.
4x = 57.5
Now, for our final step, we just need to divide each side by our variables' factor (which is a positive 4). In which we get our final answer of:
x = 14.375
