It is helpful as without the formula u hv to find it separately ( the triangle and the revtangles and the parallelogram) and then add it up which is a lot of work and with the formula u just find in one go!!

2(width x length)+2(length X height)+ 2( height X width)= surface area

Answer:

C) ∠C < ∠A < ∠B

Step-by-step explanation:

We determine the answer by visualizing a flat board with two adjustable pins and a loop of string 9 units long. Pull the string taut with a pencil and drag it to form an isosceles triangle.

To establish ∠C < ∠A, set the pins 3.2 units apart and label them A and C, with the pencil point B. Initially AB = BC = 2.9 units, and ∠C = ∠A. Move the pencil leftward so AB decreases to 2.8 units and BC increases to 3.0 units. Clearly angle A increases and angle C decreases.

To establish ∠A < ∠B, set the pins 2.8 units apart and label them A and B, with the pencil point C. Initially AB = BC = 3.1, and ∠A = ∠B. Move the pencil rightward so BC decreases to 3.0 units and AC increases to 3.2 units. Clearly angle B increases and angle A decreases.

Answer:

DC=2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

let DC=x

AB=4-x

$\frac{3}{4.5} =\frac{4-x}{x} =\frac{4}{x} -\frac{x}{x} =\frac{4}{x} -1\\\frac{4}{x} =\frac{30}{45} +1=\frac{30+45}{45} =\frac{75}{45} =\frac{5}{3} \\5x=4*3=12\\x=12/5=2.4$
