Refer to the attached image.

Given the rectangle ABCD of length 'l' and height 'h'.

Therefore, CD=AB = 'l' and BC = AD = 'h'

We have to determine the area of triangle AEF.

Area of triangle AEF = Area of rectangle ABCD - Area of triangle ADF - Area of triangle ECF - Area of triangle ABE

Area of triangle ADF = \frac{1}{2}bh

= \frac{1}{2}(DF \times AD)

= \frac{1}{2}(\frac{l}{2} \times h)

=\frac{lh}{4}

Area of triangle ECF = \frac{1}{2}bh

= \frac{1}{2}(CF \times CE)

= \frac{1}{2}(\frac{l}{2} \times \frac{h}{2})

=\frac{lh}{8}

Area of triangle ABE = \frac{1}{2}bh

= \frac{1}{2}(AB \times BE)

= \frac{1}{2}(l \times \frac{h}{2})

=\frac{lh}{4}

Now, area of triangle AEF =

Area of rectangle ABCD - Area of triangle ADF - Area of triangle ECF - Area of triangle ABE

= 72 - (\frac{lh}{4} + \frac{lh}{8} + \frac{lh}{4})

= 72 - (\frac{2lh+lh+2lh}{8})

=72 - (\frac{5lh}{8})

=72 - (\frac{5 \times 72}{8})

=\frac{72 \times 8 - (5 \times 72)}{8}

= 27 units

Therefore, the area of triangle AEF is 27 units.

If lines ab and cd are parallel, which of the following statements are true?
LiRa [457]
The correct answers are:
(D) a<span>b ll cd 
(F) a</span><span>b and cd are coplanar

Explanation:
The symbol for parallel is " </span>ll ". Therefore, if we translate the given sentence, <span>ab and cd are parallel, into the Mathematical terms, we can write it as:
</span>
ab ll cd (Option D)

Where ab = line
cd = line

Furthermore, the lines ab and cd are coplanar because they form the plane. In other words, you can say that the lines ab and cd lie on the same plane. (Option F)

Hence the correct answers are:
(D) ab ll cd 
(F) ab and cd are coplanar

?<br><br>2 to the 3rd power - 5 x (6 + 4) ÷ 2<br><br>show your work​
Delvig [45]

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

2^3 - 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2

Following PEMDAS, we must focus on the parenthesis first.

2^3 - 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2

2^3 - 5 * (10) ÷ 2

Now we will focus on the exponent:

2^3 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2

8 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2

Now Multiplication/Division.

This is where you must follow the order in the equation where you see the multiplication sign first, so you multiply first.

8 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2

8 - 50 ÷ 2

Next, Divide:

8 - 50 ÷ 2

8 - 25

Subtract:

8 - 25

-17

2^3 - 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2 = -17.

After completing the fraction division 5 divided by five-thirds, Miko used the multiplication shown to check her work. 3 times f
Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

5 divided by five-thirds can be written in the fractional form is as follows :

\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{3}}

It can be also written as :

\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{3}}=5\times \dfrac{3}{5}\\\\=3

He has done calculations as follows :

3 x 5/3=3/1 x 5/3 = 15/3 or 5

Miko was wrong in the first step where he multiplied 3 by (5/3). It should be 5 multiplied by (3/5). He has done multiplication incorrectly.
