For the given pentagon ABCDE the diagonal

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.

How much of a 3/4 cup serving is in a 2/3 of yogurt
lukranit [14]
To figure this problem out, we need to divide 2/3 by 3/4.

2/3 / 3/4 = 8/9 or 0.888888 repeating.

Therefore, there are 8/9 of the 3/4 cup servings in 2/3 cup of yogurt.

The base diameter and the height of a cone are both<br> equal to x units.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

π x³ /12 is the volume of the cone if  A cone has a height of x and a diameter of x

Step-by-step explanation:

The base diameter and the height of a cone are both equal to x units

Diameter of cone = x  units

Radius = Diameter /2

=> Radius of cone = x/2 units

Height of cone =x units

Volume of cone = (1/3) π r²h

r = radius h = height

=> Volume of cone =  (1/3)π (x/2)² * x

= (1/3) π (x²/4) * x

= (1/12)  π x³

= π x³ /12 cubic units

The table below shows two equations:
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, −1.5, and equation 2 has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the two equations, you get ...

  • |4x -3| = 9 . . . . . has two solutions
  • |2x +3| = -5 . . . . has no solutions (an absolute value cannot be negative)

The above-listed answer is the only one that matches these solution counts.

_____

Testing the above values of x reveals they are, indeed, solutions to Equation 1.
