Answer:

  28 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Without constraining the problem unduly, we can make the assumption that AB = 2 inches. Then the altitude from AB to D is h in ...

  Area ABD = (1/2)(AB)h

  16 in² = (1/2)(2 in)(h)

  16 in = h . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1 in

__

The altitude D to AB is the sum of the heights from D to EC (h1) and from AB to EC (h2). That is ...

  16 = h1 + h2

We also know that the height from FG to EC is 1/2 the height from D to EC, hence (1/2)h1. Likewise, the height to midsegment HI from either EC or AB is half the height from EC to AB, hence (1/2)h2. This means the total height of the quadrilateral HFGI is (1/2)h1 + (1/2)h2 = (1/2)(h1 +h2) = 8.

__

We are given that FG is 50% longer than AB, so its length will be ...

  FG = AB×(1 + .5) = (2 in)(1.5) = 3 in

Since FG is the mid-segment of triangle CDE, base EC is twice its length, or ...

  EC = 2×FG = 2(3 in) = 6 in

__

Mid-segment HI is the average of the base lengths of trapezoid ABCE, so is ...

  HI = (EC +AB)/2 = (6 + 2)/2 = 4

__

Now, we know the height and base lengths of trapezoid HFGI, so we can find its area as ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3 in + 4 in)(8 in) = 28 in²

The area of quadrilateral HFGI is 28 square inches.

_____

You can make any assumption you like about the dimension of AB, and the rest of the dimensions scale accordingly. The result is still the same.

Across the top: 8, 9, 2

Down the side: 4, 3, 6

8 x 4 = 32

9 x 4 = 36

2 x 4 = 8

4 x 8 = 32

3 x 8 = 24

6 x 8 = 48

Hope this helps!

The average grain of salt is 0.0003 meters wide. Rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, is 0.00000003 meters wide. How many t
algol [13]

Answer:

1\times 10^4\ times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, w=0.0003\ m

Width of Rhinovirus is, W=0.00000003\ m

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w

Therefore, the grain of salt is 1\times 10^4\ times wider than Rhinovirus.
