Since BE and CD are parallel, triangles ABE and ACD are similar, meaning their side lengths are proportional.

AC = AB + BC = 1 + 3.5 = 4.5

The proportion of AB to AC (corresponding sides of two similar triangles) is 1 / 4.5

Let x be the variable that represents the unknown length of AE

The proportion of AE to AD (another set of corresponding sides of two similar triangles) is x / 18

Since the triangles are similar, these two proportions must be equal.

1 / 4.5 = x / 18

Cross multiply

4.5x = 18

Divide both side by 4.5

x = 4

The length of AE is 4, no need to round since the answer is already a whole number.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:

4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

AB / AC = AE / AD

1 / 4.5 = AE / 18

4.5 AE = 18

AE = 4.0

Answer:

QUESTION 2:

The area of the polygon is 21.5 units²

QUESTION 3:

The area of the combined figure is 12 + 18.25·π units²

QUESTION 4:

The area of the figure is 40 units²

QUESTION 5

The area of the compost shape is 40 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

QUESTION 2.

The area of the polygon is given as follows;

The area of two triangles + The area of trapezoid

1/2×6×3 + 1/2×3×4 + 1/2×(6 + 7) = 21.5 units²

QUESTION 3

The diameter of the semicircle, 'd', is given as follows;

d = √(8² + 3²) = √73

The area of the semicircle = π·d²/4 = π·73/4 = 18.25·π unit²

The area of the right triangle beside the semicircle is given as follows;

1/2 × 8 × 3 = 12 unit²

The area of the combined figure = The area of the semicircle + The area of the right triangle

∴ The area of the combined figure = 12 + 18.25·π units²

QUESTION 4:

The dimensions of the parallelogram are;

Width, W = √(4² + 1²) = √(17)

Length, L = √(8² + 2²) = √(68)

The area of the parallelogram, A_R = W × L = √(17) × √(68) = √(17 × 68) = 34

The area of the parallelogram, A_R = 34 units²

The length of a parallel side, 'A', of the parallelogram is A = 6

The height of the parallelogram, is h = 1

The area of the parallelogram is A = B·h = 6 × 1 = 6 units²

The area of the figure is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the area of the parallelogram

Therefore, we have;

The area of the figure = 34 units² + 6 units² = 40 units²

QUESTION 5

The composite shape consists of a triangle and a rectangle

Therefore, we have;

The area of the rectangle = 5 in. × 7 in. = 35 in.²

The area of the triangle = 1/2 × 2 in. × 5 in. = 5 in.²

The area of the compost shape = The area of the rectangle + The area of the triangle

∴ The area of the compost shape = 35 in.² + 5 in.² = 40 in.²

The area of the compost shape = 40 in.².
