Answer:
increase = 37.38 cm²
You'd like the first way because it took less effort and less chance of a miscalculation.
Step-by-step explanation:
first way:
(just work with the difference in height)
(0.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (0.7 x 18 x 2) = 37.38 cm²
second way:
old total lateral surface area = (31 x 8.7 x 2) + (31 x 18 x 2) = 1655.4
new total lateral surface area = (31.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (31.7 x 18 x 2) = 1692.78
increase = 1692.78 - 1655.4 = 37.38 cm²
The answer to the first one is A, the second one is 3.58333
Given: SR=12cm, QM=7.6cm, PS=8cm.
Area of parallelogram=base×height
=12×7.6=91.2cm2.
Area of parallelogram=base×height
⇒91.2=8×QN
⇒QN=891.2=11.4cm.
Triangle has 180 degree in total, in order to get x, you use 180-70-75=35
