1. BC is 1+3=4 (units)
2. AD is 3+5= 8 (units)
3. Draw the altitude CH from point C, as shown in the figure.
4. Then triangle CHD is a right triangle, with hypothenuse CD, and sides HD and CH.
5.
6. AB=CD=4.47 because the trapezoid is isosceles.
7. P= BC+AD+AB+CD=4+8+4.47+4.47=20.9 (units)
First method:
What we can do first is to distribute directly 4.2 to 6 and
0.43, that is:
4.2 (6 + 0.43)
= 4.2 * 6 + 4.2 * 0.43
= 25.2 + 1.806
= 27.006
Second method:
We can add the two numbers 6 and 0.43 then multiply with
4.2, that is:
4.2 (6 + 0.43)
= 4.2 (6.43)
= 27.006
What we see is the Distributive Property of multiplication
which states that multiplying the sum of a number is similar to multiplying
each number and then adding the products.
Di you leave out some parenthesis? This looks like 3x+17x+53, which is the same as 20x+53? That is not enough information to solve. however, if you meant one angle was 3x+17 and the other was x+53, just set the two equal to each other to solve for x, then plug that into one of the equations to find the measurement of the angle.
Answer:
remember to round numbers to 1 significant figure
Step-by-step explanation:
usually in an exam when you're asked to estimate the answer to a calculation, usually you round each number to 1 sf and then work on from there.
