The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acute is less than 90

Right = 90

Obtuse is greater than 90 and less than 180

Straight is 180

Reflex is greater than 180 and less than 360

This is greater than 90 and less than 180 so it is a reflex angle

Can someone help me with this?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

A=10 cm

B=5 cm

Area of square = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since that is an equilateral triangle based off the fact that all the sides are the same variable (a) then that means 30 divided by 3 which equals 10. So now we know that a = 10. Lets input that information for the rectangle. Since there are 2 a's that equals 20 and the perimeter is 30 so b has to be 5 since 5 times 2 is 10 plus 20 equals 30. so now we know that a=10 and b=5 so our squares sides are all 5. The area of the square is 25
