No, the 2 lines can never ever be both parallel and perpendicular if I'm not mistaken. This is because a set of parallel lines will never touch each other at all. However perpendicular lines are two lines that meet up to get an angle of 90. You cannot have two lines that never touch and touch at the same time.
The height is 5 m. The area of a trapezoid is (b1+b2/2)h
Answer:
AB = 2*sqrt(5) or
AB = 4.47
Step-by-step explanation:
AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle A and B and the corner where 2 and 4 meet.
The length of AB is governed by the Pythagorean Theorem.
AB^2 = x^2 + y^2 Substitute 2 and 4 for x and y
AB^2 = 2^2 + 4^2 Expand the right side
AB^2 = 4 + 16 Add the right side
AB^2 = 20 Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(AB^2) = sqrt(20)
Factor 20 = 2*2 *5
Rule: when taking the square root of a number the pairs can take 1 member of the pair outside the root sign and throw the other one a way.
AB = 2 * sqrt(5) One of the roots has been thrown away.
3/6 6/12 2/4 is a few of them
