Remark

This is quite a nice little problem. It takes a minute or three to figure out the answer, and when you do, you will be certain that you have been tricked. It is a little like the egg of Columbus.

Solution

The Base of Triangle ABN is AB

The Base of Triangle CDM is CD

The height of both given triangles is h. That is the distance between the two parallel lines.

Area ABN = 1/2*AB * h = 23 cm^2

Area CDM = 1/2*CD * h = 18 cm^2

Now the Area of the trapezoid is

Area_Trapezoid = 1/2 * h (AB + CD)     Using the distributive property Remove the brackets.

Area_Trapezoid = 1/2*AB*h + 1/2*CD*h Did you notice something? Those terms are just the area of the triangles (written above.)

Area Trapezoid = 23 + 18 = 41 cm^2 <<<< Answer

How many grams would be in 10 kilograms? <br><br> INEEDHELP!!!!!!
choli [55]

Every kilogram is 1,000 grams, but you want 10 kilograms. You can multiply 1,000 10 times (you can also add 1,000 10 times,) giving you the answer > 10,000.

Hope this helped!

In abc above,what is the length of ad​
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate BD using sine ratio in Δ BCD and the exact value

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}, thus

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BD}{BC} = \frac{BD}{12} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

2BD = 12\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by 2 )

BD = 6\sqrt{3}

-----------------------------------------------------------

Calculate AD using the tangent ratio in Δ ABD and the exact value

tan30° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } , thus

tan30° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{AD}{6\sqrt{3} } = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } ( cross- multiply )

\sqrt{3} AD = 6\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

AD = 6 → B
