Answer:

a) Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) Perimeter = 48.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given:

ODC is a right angle triangle and

ABCD is part of it.

AB = 6 cm

CD = 15 cm

BC = 8 cm

∠BCD = 90 degrees

AB is parallel to DC

Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.

From the diagram, ∆OAB is similar to ∆ODC.

∠OBA = ∠OCD = 90 degrees

To find the height, we would apply the similar triangles theorem.

The ratio of corresponding sides are equal and the angles are congruent.

OB/BA = OC/CD

OC = OB+BC = OB+8

OB/6 = (OB+8)/15

15OB = 6(OB+8)

15OB = 6OB + 48

9OB = 48

OB = 48/9 = 16/3

OC = 16/3 + 8

OC = 13⅓ cm = 13.3cm

Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) To get perimeter, we have to first determine OD (the hypotenuse of ∆OCD) as it is a right angled triangle

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

OD² = OC² + CD²

OD² = (13⅓)² + 15²

OD² = 1600/9 + 225 = 3625/9

OD = √(3625/9)

OD = 20.1

Perimeter of ∆ODC= OC + CD + OD

= 13.3 + 15 + 20.1

Perimeter = 48.4cm

Solve for the variable 7/28 = 25/?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Let x be the unknown number. The equation is going to be 7/28=25/x, now we cross multiply. 7*x=25*28, 7x=700, divide both sides by 7 and you should get 100, So, x=100 and 7/28=25/100

The table below shows the heights of several books. Jean stacks a dictionary on top of her novel. How high is the stack of the t
aev [14]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The height of the stack = 5\frac{1}{4} in

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that Jean stacks a dictionary on top of a novel.

This means that the total height of the stack will be equal to the height of the dictionary added to the height of the novel.

<u>From the givens, we have:</u>

height of dictionary = 4\frac{1}{2} in

height of novel = \frac{3}{4} in

<u>Now, adding the two height, we will have:</u>

Total height of stack = height of novel + height of dictionary

Total height of stack = \frac{3}{4}+4 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4}+ \frac{18}{4}= \frac{21}{4}=5 \frac{1}{4} in

Hope this helps :)

Plzzz help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Given:

The figure of two quadrilaterals.

In ABCD,AB=18,BC=20,CD=22,AD=24

In EFGH,EF=27,FG=30,GH=34, EH=36

To find:

Whether the figures are congruent, similar or neither.

Solution:

Ratio of corresponding sides are:

\dfrac{AB}{EF}=\dfrac{18}{27}

\dfrac{AB}{EF}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Similarly,

\dfrac{BC}{FG}=\dfrac{20}{30}

\dfrac{BC}{FG}=\dfrac{2}{3}

\dfrac{CD}{GH}=\dfrac{22}{34}

\dfrac{CD}{GH}=\dfrac{11}{17}

And,

\dfrac{AD}{EH}=\dfrac{24}{36}

\dfrac{AD}{EH}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Clearly, \dfrac{AB}{EF}=\dfrac{BC}{FG}=\dfrac{AD}{EH}\neq \dfrac{CD}{GH}.

All corresponding sides are not proportional.

Therefore, the figures are neither similar nor congruent. Hence, third option is correct.
