Given: △RST ~ △VWX

Mathematics
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Given

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: △RST ~ △VWX, TU is the altitude of △RST, and XY is the altitude of △VWX.

Comparing △RST and △VWX;

TU ~ XY (given altitudes of the triangles)

<TUS = <XYW (all right angles are congruent)

<UTS ≅ <YXW (angle property of similar triangles)

Thus;

ΔTUS ≅ ΔXYW (congruent property of similar triangles)

<UTS + <TUS + < UST = <YXW + <XTW + <XWY = 180^{0} (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore by Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), △RST ~ △VWX

So that:

\frac{TU}{XY} = \frac{US}{YW} (corresponding side length proportion)

Find the area of the trapezoid
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

\frac{1}{2}  \times h \times (sum \: of \: parallel \: sides(b1 + b2))

Your scale is 2cm to 2units therefore the parameters are as follows

h=4

b1=9

b2=13

\frac{1}{2}  \times 4 \times (9 + 13)

\frac{1}{2}  \times 4 \times 22

\frac{1}{2}  \times 88

\frac{88}{2}  \\  = 44

The length of a rectangle is 4 units less than the width. The area of the rectangle is 21 units. What is the length, in units, o
bazaltina [42]

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = wl

We have l = w - 4 and A = 21.

Substitute:

w(w - 4) = 21       <em>use distributive property</em>

(w)(w) + (w)(-4) = 21

w² - 4w = 21     <em>subtract 21 from both sides</em>

w² - 4w - 21 = 0

w² - 7w + 3w - 21 = 0

w(w - 7) + 3(w - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0 ↔ w - 7 = 0 ∨ w + 3 = 0

w = 7 ∨ w = -3 < 0

l = w - 4 → l = 7 - 4 = 3

<h3>Answer: the length = 3 u.</h3>
