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

It is D.

Reason. 3^2 is 9, 4^2 is 16.
16+9= 25
The square root of 25 is 5.
Therefore it is D.

Move the triangle, 12 units right and 4 units bottom. Then, rotate it by 180 degrees. Transformation would be done!

Hope this helps!

If tan x =3/4, and 0
jasenka [17]

Answer: x=0.6435011

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation to extract  

x

from inside the tangent.

x

=

arctan

(

3

4

)

Evaluate  

arctan

(

3

4

)

.

x

=

0.6435011

The tangent function is positive in the first and third quadrants. To find the second solution, add the reference angle from  

π

to find the solution in the fourth quadrant.

x

=

(

3.14159265

)

+

0.6435011
