Answer:

A trapezoid ABCD is show below,

AB || CD

AC and BD are diagonals intersecting at P.

(a)

In Δ ABC and ABD,

Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD

Because,

Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 × Base × Height

Base = AB

Height = h, which is same for both the triangle that's why,

Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD

(b)

As we know that,

Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD

On subtracting the area of triangle ABP from both the triangles, we get

Area of triangle ABC - area of triangle ABP = Area of triangle ABD - area of triangle ABP

⇒ area of triangle BCP = area of triangle DAP

Hence, triangles BCP and DAP have the same area.

(c)

In triangle ABP and CDP,

∠ABP = ∠CDP (opposite interior angles are equal between two parallel lines)

∠APB = ∠CPD (opposite angles are equal)

∠BAP = ∠DCP (opposite interior angles are equal between two parallel lines)

Therefore,

By AAA similarity

Triangles ABP and CDP are similar.

(d)

In triangle BCP and DAP,

Only ∠BCP = ∠APD (opposite angles are equal).

Therefore,

Triangles BCP and DAP need not be similar.

M + t = 26
m = t - 6

t - 6 + t = 26
2t - 6 = 26
2t = 26 + 6
2t = 32
t = 32/2
t = 16 <== Trevor has 16

m = t - 6
m = 16 - 6
m = 10...and Marissa has 10

- 30 = 12 – 6r<br><br> Pls help
oee [108]

Answer: r = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the r variable. You have -42 = -6r. Divide both sides by -6 to get r by itself and you get r = 7. Verify by substituting 7 as the r value and solving the equation.
