Find the area of rectangle PLUM

Mathematics

Answer:

A = 53.34 units ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the rectangle we solve the PLA triangle

Using the Pythagorean theorem we find the PL side.

PL = \sqrt{4^2+12^2}\\PL = \sqrt{16+144}\\PL = 12.65

Then the length of the rectangle is 12.65

Now we solve the MALU triangle. Where MU = PL

We use the Pythagorean theorem:

MU^2+LU^2 = (MA + AL)^2\\12.65^2+LU^2 = (MA+12)^2

Where LU and MA are unknown.

Finally we solve the triangle MPA

MA^2 + PA^2 = PM ^2

Where PM = LU

So:

MA^2 + 4^2 = LU^2

Now we have two equations and two unknowns. So we solve the system.12.65^2 + LU^2 = (MA + 12) ^2  (i)

MA^2+4^2 = LU^2  (ii)

We introduce (ii) in (i)

12.65^2 + MA^2+16=MA^2+24MA+144

Now we clear MA

160.02+16-1 44 = 24MA

32.02 = 24MA

MA = \frac{32.02}{24}

MA = 1.3342 (iii)

Now we introduce (iii) in (ii)

1.3342^2 + 4^2 = LU^2

LU = 4.2166

Now we have the length of the rectangle and also its width.

The area A of a rectangle is:

A = l*w

Where

 l = length

w = width

A = 4.2166*12.65

A = 53.34 units^2

Two parallel lines are _____ coplanar.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

1. always

2. sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are coplanar if they lie in the same plane or in parallel planes. There is  ALWAYS a plane which contains two parallel lines (see first attached image for details).

Two lines that lie in parallel planes are sometimes parallel. For example, see at second image. Planes \alpha and \beta are parallel. Consider pair of lines a and a_1 - they are parallel, but if you consider the pair of lines a and b_1, you can see they are not parallel.
