Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 108 inches² <em>OR</em> 0.75 foot²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the properties of the parallelogram

- Each two opposite bases are are parallel

- Each two opposite bases are equal in length

- Each two opposite angles are equal in measure

- Each two adjacent angles are supplementary (their sum = 180°)

- Its two diagonals bisect each other

- Each base has an altitude (height) drawn from the opposite

 base to it

* Look to the attached figure to more understand

- The area of the parallelogram is the product of the length of one

 of its base and the corresponding altitude (height)

∵ Area = B1 × H1 ⇒ OR ⇒ Area = B2 × H2

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 feet

∵ H1 = 6 inches

- The base and the height have different units, so we must

 change the unit of one of them to the other

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 feet

∴ B1 = 1.5 × 12 = 18 inches

∴ A = 18 × 6 = 108 inches²

* The area of the parallelogram is 108 inches²

OR

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 feet

∵ H1 = 6 inches

∴ H1 = 6 ÷ 12 = 1/2 = 0.5 foot

∴ A = 1.5 × 0.5 = 0.75 foot²

* The area of the parallelogram is 0.75 foot²

<u>Answer:</u>

108 square inches

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the formula of area of a parallelogram is given by:

<em>A = base × altitude</em>

Since here we have different units for base and altitude, so either we will change the base to inches or the altitude to feet.

Base = 1\frac{1}{2} ft = 1.5 ft

\frac{1}{1.5ft} =\frac{12inches}{x}

Base (x) = 18 inches

Substituting the values in the above formula to get:

Area of parallelogram = 18 × 6 = 108 square inches

The quote for USD/CHF is listed as 1.4481/88. How many swiss francs does it cost to buy one dollar?
pychu [463]
Based on this quote, this answer is 60.77.

The ratio given in USD to CHF is 1.4481/88.  Since we want 1 USD, we divide both parts of the ratio by 1.4481:

1.4481 ÷ 1.4481 = 1

88 ÷ 1.4481 = 60.77

Need help with trig question
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

  0 +256i

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Euler's formula, ...

  (4 cis π/8)^4 = (4^4) cis (4×π/8) = 256 cis π/2 = 0 +256i

_____

"cis" is an abbreviation sometimes used for "cosine + i×sine". It simplifies writing the expression. Engineers sometimes simplify it further, writing 4∠(π/8) for the expression in this problem statement.
