Answer:

Area of triangle AMD is 32 square inches.

Area of triangle CMD is 8 square inches.

Area of triangle ACD is 40 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In trapezoid ABCD with legs AB and CD.

Diagonal BD and AC intersect at M so that BM:MD=1:4

We are given ar(ABM)=8 in²

Ratio of area of two triangle is equal to ratio of their base.

\dfrac{ar(ABM)}{ar(AMD)}=\dfrac{BM}{MD}

\dfrac{8}{ar(AMD)}=\dfrac{1}{4}

ar(AMD)=32\text{ in}^2

Thus, Area of triangle AMD is 32 square inches.

If two triangles lie on same base and same parallel line then their area is equal.

\therefore ar(ABD)=ar(ACD)

ar(ACD)=ar(ACD)=ar(AMD)+ar(ABM)

ar(ACD)=8+32\Rightarrow 40\text{ in}^2

Thus, Area of triangle ACD is 40 square inches.

ar(CMD)=ar(ACD)-ar(AMD)

ar(CMD)=40-32\Rightarrow 8\text{ in}^2

Thus, Area of triangle CMD is 8 square inches.

The equation y = 1/5x represents a proportional relationship. Explain how you can tell the relationship is proportional from the
andre [41]
If a graph is proportional then the line will go through the origin at point (0, 0). If the equation is proportional then it will be in the form of y=kx with no other operations after. The constant of proportionality is another way to say the slope and in your specific equation the slope would be 1/5.
