Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 20 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The vertices of the parallelogram are (0 , -2) , (3 , 2) , (8 , 2) , (5 , -2)

- The side joining the points (0 , -2) and (5 , -2) is a horizontal side

  because the points have same y-coordinates

- The side joining the points (3 , 2) and (8 , 2) is a horizontal side

  because the points have same y-coordinates

∴ These two sides are parallel bases of the parallelogram

∵ The length of any horizontal side = x2 - x1

∴ The length of the side = 5 - 0 = 5 <em>or</em> 8 - 3 = 5

∴ The length of one base of the parallelogram is 5 units

- The height of this base is the vertical distance between these two

  parallel bases

∵ The length of any vertical distance = y2 - y1

∵ y2 = 2 and y1 = -2 ⇒ the y-coordinates of the parallel bases

∴ The length of the vertical distance = 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4 units

∵ This vertical distance between the two parallel bases is the height

  of these bases

∴ The height of the parallelogram is 4 units

- The area of the parallelogram = base × height

∵ The base = 5 units and the height = 4 units

∴ The area = 5 × 4 = 20 units²

* The area of the parallelogram is 20 units²

ABC is a right angled triangle right angled at B . A circle with centre O inscribed in the triangle . AB=6CM BC=8CM . Find the r
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Radius = 2 cm.

Step by step explanation:

By the Pythagoras theorem  the third side of the triangle

= sqrt (6^2 + 8^2)cm = sqrt100 = 10cm.

The formula for the radius of the circle is

r = sqrt [ (s - a)(s-b)(s-c)/ s ]  where a,b,c are side lengths and s = the semi perimeter.

Here s = ( 6+8+10) / 2 = 12

So the radius r  

= sqrt [ (12-6)(12-8)(12-10)/ 12 ]

= sqrt 4

= 2 (answer).
