Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The trick is to find the length of the leg making up the base of the triangle.
That base is equal to the difference between the two bases.
Solution
The base of the triangle = 2x + 1 - (x + 3) Remove the brackets.
base = 2x + 1 - x - 3
base = x - 2
Now the height of the trapezoid is also the second leg of the triangle. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
a = x - 2
b = x + 4
c = 2x
4x^2 = (x - 2)^2 + (x + 4)^2 Expand the brackets
4x^2 = x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 + 8x + 16 Collect like terms
4x^2 = 2x^2 + 4x + 20 Subtract the right side from the left.
4x^2 - 2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0
2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0 Divide by 2
2x^2/2 - 4x/2 - 20/2 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 10 = 0
x = - b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)/ 2a
a = 1
b = - 2
c = - 10
x = (- -2 + / - sqrt((-2)^2 - 4*(1)*(-10) ) / 2
x = (2 + / - sqrt(4 + 40 ))/2 Only the plus root has any meaning.
x = ( 2 + sqrt(44 ) )/2
x = ( 2 + 2*sqrt(11) ) / 2
x = 1 + sqrt(11)
sqrt(11) = 3.3166
x = 1 + 3.3166
x = 4.3166
Answer:
D)DE=24 YD.;EF=10yd
Step-by-step explanation:
AB=12 FT SO YOU DO 12*2 AND YOU GET 24 ON DE
CB=5 FT SO YOU DO 5*2 AND YOU GET 10
I JUST HAD THE QUIZ I GOT IT RIGHT I JUST DIDNT EXAPLIN HOW I GOT IT IN A RIGHT WAY BAD WORDING.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
they are similar and 7 / 5 = 21 / 15
Answer:
20/9 sq.feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The width is 4/3 ft because 1/3 times 4 is 4/3 and the length is 5/3 because 1/3 times 5 is 5/3.
Then to find the area you do length times width.
5/3 ×4/3= 20/9 sq. feet
I hope this helps! :)
Answer:
48m
Step-by-step explanation:
12m - 4m = 8m / 2 = 4
12m + 4m + 4m + 4m + 4m + 8m + 8m + 4m = 48
