How do you calculate the area and the perimeter of a parallelogram and a triangle?

Mathematics

for parallelograms:

area = b(h)

so basically, the length times the height. just like how you would find the area of a square.

perimeter: just add all of the sides together.

for triangles:

area = 1/2(b) x h

so half the length multiplied by the height. for example, if the length was 4, you have to use half of that. so that means 2 times whatever the height is.

perimeter: again, just add all three sides together

For the area of a parallelogram, you must use the formula : base x height

First you figure the height of the shape, and then only multiply that by the base, giving you the area.

For the perimeter, you could find the height, and use pythagoras' theorem to help you find the missing lengths if there are any, and add all sides up.

For the area of a triangle, you must use the formula : (Base x Height) / 2

Simply just by dividing the base by two and multiplying that by the height, of which you could also find with Pythagoras' Theorem if it isn't shown, or just multiply both height and base and diving the product by two.

For the perimeter, use pythagoras' theorem if needed: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Add all sides up

Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) Which equation correctly applies the law of cosines to solve for an unknown angle measu
Cloud [144]
The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of the triangle if the angle opposite to that side is given as well as the other sides. For this problem, we are given angle B. Therefore, the correct answer among the choices given is option 1 where a is equal to 5 and c is equal to 3.

What is an equation that goes through the point (-7, 10) and is perpendicular to the line -2x-4y=9
algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

m1.m2= -1

(4y = -2x -9)= (y = -1x/2 -9/4)

-1/2.m2= -1

m2 = 2

formula = y - y1 = m2 ( x - x1)

y - 10 = 2 ( x - (-7))

y - 10 = 2x + 14

y = 2x + 24

What is the radical form of the expression 432 ? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

12√3

Step-by-step explanation:

well first divide 432 by 3

that gives you 144

so you have 144×3

you then but them both in radicals

144 is a perfect square i.e 12×12=144

3 isnt

therefore the answer is 12√3
