Given: ABCD is a trapezoid, AC ⊥ CD AB = CD, AC=the square root of 75 , AB = 5 Find: AABCD

Ugo [173]

In this attached picture according to the conditions of the problem we have an isosceles trapezoid and since we know that legs are equal (AD=BC=5 cm), we have to calculate bases and height in order to find the area. Working with the triangle BCD, we apply Pythagoras theorem and find that CD = $\sqrt{75+25}$ = 10 cm. Since BDC is a right triangle, applying theorem for the area of triangles, we find that $\frac{1}{2} * BF = \frac{1}{2} * 5 * \sqrt{75}$ and BF= $0.5\sqrt{75}$ . Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, triangles ADE and BFC are congruent with Angle Side Angle theorem. Then, DE=FC and with the help of Pythagoras theorem, DE=FC=2.5 cm. Then, AB=EF=5 cm and the area of the trapezoid is $A= BF * \frac{AB+CD}{2} = 0.5 \sqrt{75} * \frac{5+10}{2} = 18.75 \sqrt{3} cm^{2}$

Fill in the blank spaces using the names of the two-dimensional figures listed below.

Explanation:

There are many versions of the taxonomy diagram for quadrilaterals. The details depend on the particulars of the definitions you use. Here, we'll say a parallelogram is a subset of trapezoids. Not all authors would agree.

(2) kite -- two pairs of adjacent same-length sides

(3) trapezoid -- (at least one) pair of parallel opposite sides

(4) parallelogram -- opposite sides are parallel

(5) rhombus -- all sides the same length (and opposite sides parallel)

(6) rectangle -- parallel opposite sides and right angles

(7) square -- same-length parallel opposite sides and right angles
