The area of a triangle can be calculated through the equation,
A = bh / 2
where A is area, b is base, and h is height.
Substituting the known values from the given above to the equation
A = (14 in)(6 in) / 2 = 42 in²
Since, there are five of these triangles, the total area is,
total area = 5(42 in²) = 210 in²
Thus, the total area of the plywood needed is 210 in².
Answer:
210

Answer:
a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS
b) x = 28 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2
The right side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.
Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:
12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x
__
The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:
x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12
x = 28 1/3
Answer:
6,720 inches or 560 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
20 x 14 x 24 = said number above.
Remember volume is just length times width times height.
