Answer:

  27

Step-by-step explanation:

Name the midpoint of BC point M and the midpoint of CD point N.

Triangle ABM has the 1/4 the area of the rectangle, 18. Triangle ADN also has 1/4 the area of the rectangle, 18. Triangle CMN has 1/8 the area of the rectangle, 9. That is, of the rectangle area, ...

  18 + 18 + 9 = 45

are not included in triangle AMN. So, the area of that triangle is ...

  72 -45 = 27 . . . . units²

_____

<em>Comment on the triangle area</em>

The triangle created by joining the midpoint of the side of a rectangle with an opposite vertex will have the same dimension as the rectangle in one direction (L), and half the dimension of the rectangle in the other direction (W). Thus, where the rectangle area is LW, the triangle area is (1/2)(L)(1/2W) = (1/4)LW, 1/4 the area of the rectangle.

Similarly, if the midpoints of adjacent sides are joined to form a triangle, the area of that is (1/2)(1/2L)(1/2W) = (1/8)LW, or 1/8 the area of the rectangle.

Please answer this multiple choice question for 27 points and brainliest!!
storchak [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be in the form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2.5, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{0-5}{2.5-0} = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5) ⇒ c = 5

y = - 2x + 5 or

y = 5 - 2x → A

I need help ASAP. If TU=10 and ST=15, What is the measure of the radius of the circle?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythag to get SU. 10^2 + x^2 = 15^2, this will give you x = 11.2. 11.2 is the diameter of SU so divide it by 2 to get the radius. 11.2/2= 5.6.
