Answer:

AC = 14 sqrt(2) = 19.80    

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the diagram showing you how this has been set up. The figure is a trapezoid which means BC and AD are parallel. AC is a transversal of the parallel lines.

Givens

  • <ABC = <ACD                          
  • ABCD  is a trapezoid
  • BC = 14
  • AD = 28
  • AC is a transversal of BC and AD

Solution

  • <ABC = <ACD                Given
  • <DAC = <ACB                Alternate interior angles.
  • ΔACB ≅ΔDAC               AA
  • <BAC = <ADC                Angles of similar triangles are equal
  • AC /28 = 14/AC              Form a proportion from corresponding sides
  • AC*AC = 14 * 28             Cross multiply the proportion. Combine
  • AC^2 = 392                    Express as prime factors.
  • AC^2 = 7*7*2*2*2           Take the square root of both sides
  • sqrt(AC)^2 = sqrt(7*7*2*2*2)
  • AC = 7*2 * sqrt(2)
  • AC = 14 sqrt(2) = 19.80

Answer:

area of shaded region: 21.07 ft²

<u>Given for semi circle:</u>

  • radius of semi-circle: 7 ft

<u>Given for rectangle:</u>

  • width: 7 ft
  • length: 14 ft

<u>Find area of rectangle:</u>

Length * Width

14 * 7

98 ft²

<u>Find the area of semi circle:</u>

1/2 * π * r²

1/2 * 3.14 * (7)²

76.93 ft²

<u>Area of shaded region:</u>

area of rectangle - area of semi-circle

98 ft² - 76.93 ft²

21.07 ft²

The radius of a circle is doubled. Which of the following describes the effect of this change on the area? PLZZZ HELP!!! THE RED
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The area is multiplied by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is directly proportional to its square radius so if the radius is increased by x, the area will be increased by x ^ 2
