Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is a compound figure with a triangle on top followed by a rectangle below and next below is a trapezium

Hence area of the given figure = area of top triangle +area of middle rectangle+area of bottom trapezium

Area of top triangle= $\frac{1}{2} (bh) (b=base h=height)=\frac{1}{2}(4x3)=6$

Area of middle rectangle= $bh 3x10=30$

area of a trapezoid= $\frac{1}{2}h(b_1 +b_2) =\frac{1}{2}(5+3)2 =8$ 1/2(base+base)h (two bases because one on top, one on bottom) 1/2(5+3)2=8

Total area = 6+30+8 =44 in^2

I NEED A ANSWER RIGHT AWAY !!! In the figure, AB CD and M2 = 55 What is M8?

miskamm [114]

The answer is 55º since the horizontal lines are parallel. My explanation is correct, but you can measure the angles with a tool called a protractor if you wish to prove my answer.

Note: when measuring the angles, none of them will be 55º but 65º. That doesn't matter though since the exercise requires you to use logic, and not measure anything.

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf~55~degrees~is~the~answer.}$
