Mathematics

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

120 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = PS + SQ + PQ

50 = SQ + SQ + (SQ -1)

51 = 3SQ

17 = SQ

17 -1 = 16 = PQ

The midpoint of the base is one leg of the right triangle whose other leg is the height of this isosceles triangle. That height is ...

h = √(17² -(16/2)²) = √225 = 15

Then the area is ...

A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16)(15) = 120 . . . . . square units

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Option B

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is a plane shape with at least three straight sides. examples include triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc.

A cylinder has a circular base. A circle as we can tell, is not a polygon because it has curved edges. As a result of that, we can say that the base of a cylinder does not have to always be a polygon
