<h3>Answer: 108.75 inches or 9.0625 ft</h3>

This is equivalent to 9 ft + 0.75 of an inch, or 9 ft + 3/4 of an inch

==========================================================

Work Shown:

7 & 1/4 = 7.25

Each riser is 7.25 inches tall

15 of them gives a total height of 15*7.25 = 108.75 inches

Divide that by 12 to convert to feet

108.75/12 = 9.0625 feet

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + 0.0625 ft

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + (0.0625 ft)*(12 inches/1 ft)

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + 0.75 inches

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + 3/4 of an inch

Find the length of dm in the given fig.​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

DM=12

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let the point where the altitude from D intersects AB be called as point E.) First, let's find the area of parallelogram ABCD. The area of a parallelogram is simply b*h=bh, where b is the parallelogram's base and h is the parallelogram's height. If we let AB and DE be the base and height respectively, since we are already given their lengths, we know that the area of parallelogram ABCD will be AB*DE=15*8=120.

Now, how does this information matter, you might ask? Well, we can take either AB <em>or </em>CB to be the base and either DE or DM to be the height. In this case, let's take the latter two options, as we are looking to find the length of DM.

Therefore, we know that the area of parallelogram ABCD can also be found by calculating CB*DM. Since we know the values of the area and CB, we can write the following equation to solve for DM:

Area = CB*DM

120=10*DM (Substitute Area=120 and CB=10 into the equation)

\frac{120}{10}=\frac{10*DM}{10} (Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get rid of DM's coefficient)

12=DM (Simplify)

DM=12 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

Hope this helps!
