A square has an area of 25 cm2. if its perimeter increases by 4 cm, what is its area?

Bond [772]

<span>The standard from means writing in the most simplified form i.e. 7340 = 7000+300+40 is the standard from of the number 7340. Sometimes, scientific notation can also be called as standard form. Then, we write in powers of 10. i.e. 7340 = 7.340 *10^3 </span>

Applying the the properties of Congruence.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$LM = 35cm$ and $m \angle H = 98^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, it is critical to understand what the opening statement means.

$Quadrilateral GHJK \cong quadrilateral LMNP$ means that each pair of <u>corresponding sides</u> between shapes are congruent (they have equal length), and each pair of <u>corresponding angles</u> between shapes are congruent (they have equal measure -- or same number of degrees when measured with a protractor).

So, it's important to be able to determine which pairs are the <u>corresponding</u> parts. When the congruence is given like $Quadrilateral GHJK \cong quadrilateral LMNP$ the letters are in a particular order. That order explains the order in which the shape is drawn out, and they put them in the same order for both shapes to mean that those are the letters that correspond with each other.

So, the first letter of each are a corresponding pair, the second letter of each are a corresponding pair, ... etc

In other words, point G and L correspond, point H and K correspond, etc.

To find the corresponding sides, the sides for these shapes are defined by a two adjacent letters (two letters next to each other in the name, or ... as it wraps around the end of the name... the first and last letter).

$\overline{GH} \cong \overline{LM}\\ \overline{HJ} \cong \overline{MN} \\\overline{JK} \cong \overline{NP}\\\overline{KG} \cong \overline{PL}$

While all of that is true, we only have a few sides with any information in them. Notice that side GH in the first shape, and sides PL & LM in the second shape are the only sides with anything written. So, we just need to determine which sides correspond (and thus, are congruent), so that we know how to move forward. Looking at the list of congruent sides above, we see that $\overline{GH} \cong \overline{LM}$

Since the sides (line segments) are congruent, their lengths are equal

$GH = LM$

...so we can substitute the expressions for each angle into the equation and solve for the unknown value "x"

$GH = LM\\(4x+3)=(6x-13)$

$(4x+3)+13=(6x-13)+13\\4x+16=6x$

$(4x+16)-4x=(6x)-4x\\16=2x$

divide both sides by 2

$\frac{16}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}\\8=x$

So, to find the length, LM, we just need to look back at the expression for LM:

$LM = 6x-13\\LM = 6(8)-13\\LM = 48-13\\LM = 35$

remembering that the lengths are measured in centimeters (as indicated on the diagram): $LM = 35cm$

To find the corresponding angles, the angles for these shapes are defined by a single letter, so since the points correspond in order, the names of the shapes tell which angles are congruent.

$\angle G \cong \angle L\\\angle H \cong \angle M\\\angle J \cong \angle N\\\angle K \cong \angle P$

While all of that is true, we only have a few angles with any information in them. Notice that ∠H in the first shape, and ∠L & ∠M in the second shape are the only angles with anything written. So, we just need to determine which angles correspond (and thus, are congruent), so that we know how to move forward. Looking at the list of congruent angles above, we see that

$\angle H \cong \angle M$

Since the angles are congruent, their measures are equal

$m\angle H = m\angle M$

...so we can substitute the expressions for each angle into the equation and solve for the unknown value "y"

$m\angle H = m\angle M\\(9y+17)=(11y-1)$

subtract 1 from both sides

$(9y+17)+1=(11y-1)+1\\9y+18=11y$

subtract 9y from both sides

$\\(9y+18)-9y=(11y)-9y\\18=2y$

divide both sides by 2

$\frac{18}{2}=\frac{2y}{2}\\9=y$

So, to find angle H, we just need to look back at the expression for the measure of angle H:

$m\angle H = 9y+17\\m\angle H = 9(9)+17\\m\angle H = 81+17\\m\angle H = 98$

remembering that the angle is measured in degrees (as indicated on the diagram): $m \angle H = 98^o$

Please help me how do i solve 0.75a = -9 using a two step equation

Harrizon [31]

You would divide both sides by 0.75, to get a=-12.

I think this is a one- step equation, but that is the only way I think you can solve it.

A zip line runs from the top of a platform on the edge of a pond to the ground across the pond. A camp counselor places a mirror

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

150 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shown gives us a picture of two similar right triangle.

The height of the man is similar to the height of the platform.

To find the height of the platform, multiply the height of the man by the scale factor.

Scale factor = the ratio of any corresponding sides of two similar triangles.

Scale factor = 100 ft ÷ 4 ft = 25

Height of man = 6ft

Therefore, height of platform = 6 ft × 25 = 150 ft

A 20-foot ladder is leaning on a

Gwar [14]

Answer:

From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:

12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16
