Answer:
a = 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.
From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;
i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are<em> the right angle</em>
and <em>angle B</em>
Therefore, we can say that;
<em>Cross multiply</em>
a x a = 13 x 4
a² = 52
a = √52
a = 7.2
Note: The figure showing the similar triangles has also been attached to this response.
We need the rates please attach a picture
1.BE = 2x + 6
ED = 5x - 12
2. To get the entire side of BD, we must add both half's which equals to the entire length.
3. 2x + 6 + 5x - 12
4.Add like terms.
2x + 5x = 7x
-12 + 6 = -6
5. So, we have 7x - 6
=7x - 6
Answer:
400cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Total surface area of a prism includes the area of the top and bottom triangle sides of the prism, plus the area of all 3 rectangular sides.
Base & Bottom triangle area: 2 x [(8 x 15)/2] = 120cm²
Side triangle area: 17 x 7 + 8 x 7 + 15 x 7 = 280cm²
Total surface area = 280 + 120 = 400cm²
