How can you find the independent variable and the dependent variable given a situation

In the picture below, ABCD is a rectangle. If the area of triangle ABE is 40, what is the area of the triangle?

MariettaO [177]

Area of the rectangle: 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture is missing: find it in attachment.

The area of a triangle is given by

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where

b is the length of the base

h is the height

For triangle ABE, we know that

A = 40 (area)

h = 8 (height)

So we can find the length of the base AE:

$AE=b=\frac{2A}{h}=\frac{2(40)}{8}=10$

Now we observe that the base of the rectangle, AD, is the sum of AE and DE, therefore:

$AD=AE+DE=10+4=14$

We also know the height of the rectangle AB is 8, and that the area of a rectangle is

$A=bh$

where b is the base and h the height. Therefore, the area of this rectangle is

$A=bh=(AD)(AB)=(14)(8)=112$

In triangle ABC above, AD is perpendicular to CB. If the lengths of AD and CB were both increased by 50%, how would the area of

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle.

The area of a triangle is given as:

A = (1/2) * b * h

where b = base of triangle, h = height of triangle , A = area

Let BC = base = x, and AD = height = y, hence:

A = (1/2) * x * y = 0.5xy

If the lengths of AD and CB were both increased by 50%, hence:

new AD = y + 0.5y = 1.5y, new CB = x + 0.5x = 1.5x

The new area= (1/2) * 1.5y * 1.5x = 1.125xy

Increased area / area = 1.125xy / 0.5xy = 2.25

If the lengths are increased by 50%, the area would also increase and the new area would be 2.25 times

The measure of two opposite interior angles of a triangle are and. The exterior angle of the0x−14x+4triangle measures. Solve for

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Restructured question:

The measure of two opposite interior angles of a triangle are x−14 and x+4. The exterior angle of the triangle measures 3x-45 . Solve for the measure of the exterior angle.

First you must know that the sum of interior angle of a triangle is equal to the exterior angle

Interior angles = x−14 and x+4

Sum of interior angles = x-14 + x + 4

Sum of interior angles = 2x - 10

Exterior angle = 3x - 45

Equating both:

2x - 10 = 3x - 45

Collect like terms;

2x - 3x = -45 + 10

-x = -35

x = 35

Get the exterior angle:

Exterior angle = 3x - 45

Exterior angle = 3(35) - 45

Exterior angle = 105 - 45

Exterior angle = 60

Hence the measure of the exterior angle is 60 degrees

<em>Note that the functions of the interior and exterior angles are assumed. Same calculation can be employed for any function given</em>
