Answer:

\text{Length of AB is }\frac{ah}{a+h}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △KMN, ABCD is a square where KN=a, MP⊥KN, MP=h.

we have to find the length of AB.

Let the side of square i.e AB is x units.

As ADCB is a square ⇒ ∠CDN=90°⇒∠CDP=90°

⇒ CP||MP||AB

In ΔMNP and ΔCND

∠NCD=∠NMP     (∵ corresponding angles)

∠NDC=∠NPM     (∵ corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule,  ΔMNP~ΔCND

Also, ΔKAP~ΔKPM by similarity rule as above.

Hence, corresponding sides are in proportion

\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{CD}{MP} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{AB}{PM} \\\\\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{x}{h} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{x}{h}\\\\\frac{NP}{ND}=\frac{h}{x} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}\\\\\frac{PD}{ND}=\frac{h}{x}-1 \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{AP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}-1\\

KA(\frac{h}{x}-1)=AP

ND(\frac{h}{x}-1)=PD

Adding above two, we get

(KA+ND)(\frac{h}{x}-1)=(AP+PD)

⇒ (KN-AD)=\frac{x}{(\frac{h}{x}-1)}

⇒ a-x=\frac{x}{(\frac{h}{x}-1)}

⇒ a-x=\frac{x^2}{h-x}

⇒ x^2=ah-ax-xh+x^2

⇒ x(h+a)=ah

⇒ x=\frac{ah}{a+h}

The prism shown has a volume of 35 cm.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

1.25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Complete question:</em>

The prism has a volume of 35 cm cubed  workout h, the height of the triangular cross section

<em>length=7cm</em>

<em>width = 4cm</em>

<em></em>

The volume of the prism is expressed as;

Volume = Base Area * Height

Given

Volume of the prism = 35cm^3

Base Area = length * width

Base Area =  7cm * 4cm

Base Area = 28cm^2

Substitute the given values into the formula

35 = 28* Height

Cross multiply

35 = 28 * Height

35 = 28 Height

Height = 35/28

Height = 1.25cm

Hence the height of the triangular cross section is 1.25cm
