Area of the rectangle is 69 feet²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

Perimeter of Rectangle = P = 35¹/₂ feet

Length of Rectangle = L = 12 feet

<u>Unknown:</u>

Area of Rectangle = A = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

This problem is about Area and Perimeter of Rectangle.

<em>Let's find the width of Rectangle.</em>

\texttt{Perimeter of Rectangle} = 2( \texttt{Length} + \texttt{Width} )

35\frac{1}{2} = 2( 12 + \texttt{Width} )

35\frac{1}{2} \div 2 = ( 12 + \texttt{Width} )

17\frac{3}{4} = ( 12 + \texttt{Width})

\texttt{Width} = 17\frac{3}{4} - 12

\texttt{Width} = \boxed {5\frac{3}{4} ~ \texttt{feet}}

<em>Let's find the area of Rectangle.</em>

\texttt{Area of Rectangle} = \texttt{Length} \times \texttt{Width}

A = L \times W

A = 12 \times 5\frac{3}{4}

A = \boxed {69 ~ \texttt{feet}^2}

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 69 feet squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that perimeter is all of the sides of an object added together. Since the length is 12 feet, that means that 24 feet (2 sides of the rectangle) is the length. That leaves us with 11 1/2 feet. This needs to be divided by 2 to find the width since there are 2 sides for width. 11 1/2 / 2 = 5 3/4. To find the area.  (l x w), you can multiply 12 by 5 3/4 to get 69. Now write the correct units which are feet squared.

What’s the surface area of the prism in square inches? A.300 B.360 C.390 D.460 helpppppp
butalik [34]

Answer:

2) 360 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to verify that the base triangle is a right triangle

For this we use Pythagoras

h² = l1² + l2²

13² = 12² + 5²

169 = 144 + 25

169 = 169

Equality is fulfilled by what is a right triangle

Now we need to calculate the area of ​​the triangle

a = (12 in * 5 in) / 2

a = 60in² / 2

a = 30in²

 

Now we have to calculate the 3 areas of the rectangles

a1 = 10in * 13 in

a1 = 130in²

a2 = 10 in * 12 in

a2 = 120in²

a3 = 10 in * 5 in

a3 = 50in²

Now we must add all the calculated areas and the triangle 2 times

a1 + a2 + a3 + 2a =

130in² + 120in² + 50in² + 2 * 30in²

360in²

The surface area of the prism is 360in²

In triangle ABC, AC =24, the measure of angle A = 30 degree , and the measure of angle B = 45 degree . Find the area of this tri
andriy [413]

Answer:

142.932

Step-by-step explanation:

given that in triangle ABC, AC =24

Angle A = 30 and Angle B =45

If we draw altitude from C, we get

h = 24sin 30 = 12

Since BC = h (45, 45,90 triangle)

BC=12

By sine formula for triangle

\frac{12}{sin30} =\frac{AB}{sin(180-45-30)} \\AB = 24 sin 105 = 23.1822

Area of triangle

= 1/2 (23.1822)(12)\\= 142.932
