Find the area. The figure is not drawn to scale

Mathematics
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago

Answer:

96 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From given picture we see that

BC=8 in

AD=10 in

Given that

AD=AB

Then AB=10 in

Apply Pythagorean theorem in triangle ABC to find AC

(hypotenuse)^2=(base)^2+(perpendicular)^2

(AB)^2=(BC)^2+(AC)^2

(10)^2=(8)^2+(AC)^2

100=64+(AC)^2

100-64=(AC)^2

36=(AC)^2

take square root

6=AC

Then area of triangle ABC =\frac{1}{2}\left(base\right)\left(altitude\right)

=\frac{1}{2}\left(8\right)\left(6\right)=24

There are total 4 congruent triangles.

Then total area of the given figure = 4(24)=96 square inches.

Graph the line with slope -2 passing through the point (4, 1)
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Use points (4,1) and (3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the other coordinates are (x,y).

Then, we know (1-y)/(4-x)=2. So if y is -1, and x is 3, then we get:

[1-(-1)]/(4-3)=2/1=2

So draw the two points, (4,1) and (3,-1) on a coordinate plane, and use a ruler to make a line that goes through both the points.
