Look at the picture.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
|AD|^2=5^2+(\sqrt{75})^2\\\\|AD|^2=25+75\\\\|AD|^2=100\to|AD|=\sqrt{100}\to|AD|=10
The area of a triangle ADC:
A_\Delta=\dfrac{|DC|\cdot|AC|}{2}\ and\ A_\Delta=\dfrac{|AD|\cdot h}{2}
Substitute:
\dfrac{10h}{2}=\dfrac{5\sqrt{75}}{2}\\\\5h=\dfrac{5\sqrt{75}}{2}\ \ \ |:5\\\\h=\dfrac{\sqrt{75}}{2}
The triangles ADC and DCE are similar. Therefore:
\dfrac{|ED|}{\frac{\sqrt{75}}{2}}=\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{75}}\\\\\dfrac{2|ED|}{\sqrt{75}}=\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{75}}\ \ \ |\cdot\sqrt{75}\\\\2|ED|=5\ \ \ |:2\\\\|ED|=2.5
|BC|=|AD|-2|ED|\\\\|BC|=10-2\cdot2.5=10-5=5
The area of the trapezoid:
A=\dfrac{|AD|+|BC|}{2}\cdot h
Substitute:
A=\dfrac{10+5}{2}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{75}}{2}=\dfrac{15\sqrt{75}}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{15\sqrt{25\cdot3}}{4}=\dfrac{15\cdot5\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{75\sqrt3}{4}

Can you write an equation of the line containing the points (14, -8) and (-2, 4) using point-slope form?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
We can find slope by using (y1-y2)/(x1-x2).

(-8-4)/(14+2) = -0.75

Now put it in point slope form:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+8=-0.75(x-14)

Simply

y = -0.75x -18.5

Number seven omg I am done with math!!! Please help to solve for m
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

m∠1 = 123°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a straight line is always a supplementary angle, it equals 180°. To solve for the unknown angle, we can subtract the known angle from 180°.

180° - 57° = 123°

So m∠1 = 123°
