Yes. The umbrella is smaller than the suitcase. The suitcase is 81'^2, but the umbrella is 14

I will assume that when you say 14", you are referring to the diameter of the open umbrella.
When an umbrella is folded down, really the only dimension we need to figure out is the distance from top to bottom - which, when spread open, is the same distance as the radius.
To find the radius: 14 divided by 2 = 7.
No matter which way you turn the umbrella - vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, 7 is smaller than 9 or 12. So yes, you can fit the umbrella in the suitcase when it is closed.

<h3>Answer:-</h3>

192 cm²

<h3>Step by step explanation :-</h3>

Let us take the height be x , then its side = x + 4. Now half of base will be 12 cm .

According to Pythagoras Theorem :-

=> base² + perpendicular ² = hypontenuse ²

=> 12² + x² = (x+4)²

=> 144 + x² = x² + 16 + 8x

=> 8x = 144-16

=> 8x = 128

=> x = 128/8

=> x = 16 cm .

Hence the height of ∆ is 16 cm .So the area will be half the product of base and altitude.

= 1/2 * 16 cm * 24cm .

= 192 cm²

<h3>★ Hence the area of the triangle is 192 cm² .</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A random sample of dogs at different animal shelters in a city shows that 10 of the 55 dogs are puppies.

The city's animal shelters collectively house 1,485 dogs each year.

The number of dogs in all of the city's animal shelters is puppies = $1485\times\dfrac{10}{55}=270$

Hence, The number of dogs in all of the city's animal shelters is puppies = 270
