Answer:

19.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the length of the diagonal of a square, first we need the length of it sides. We will get this information from the perimeter.

We calculate the perimeter of a square adding up the length of the 4 sides. As all the sides of a square are equal, we just take one side and multiply it by four.  

So, if the perimeter is 56 cm, that means 56 = 4*L, where L represents the length of the sides. If we want to know the value of L, we have to divide by 4 on both sides:

56 = 4*L

56/4 = 4/4*L

14 = L

Now we can find out the length of the diagonal using the Pythagorean equation  

\fbox {\textbf{Pythagorean equation}:} <em>The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle)</em>

In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal we want to find out and the legs are the two sides of the square.

So, we have  

D^2 = L^2 + L^2

D^2 = 14^2 + 14^2

D^2 = 392

D = \sqrt{392}

D = 19.8

S = 56 cm
s / 4 

= 56/4
= 14.0 cm

What is the area of this figure?
matrenka [14]
There is 2 figure here, a triangle and a parallelogram.
Area of parallelogram=base * height
                                   A=9 * 5
                                   A=45m²
Area of triangle= \frac{1}{2} (base * height)
                        A=\frac{1}{2} (9*8)
                        A=\frac{1}{2}72
                        A=36m²
36+45=81m²
The area of this figure is 81m²

Answer:

BC=11

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find BC

and we  know that

AB= x+2

AC=13

BC=2x+11

A, B and C are collinear

that means that

AB+BC=AC

x+2+2x+11=13

3x+13=13

3x=0

x=0

so BC=2(0)+11

BC=11
