The trapezoid ABCD has bases AB = 15 and CD = 5, thigh AD = 9 and diagonal BD = 12. Find:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago

Answer:

The height of the trapezoid is 6.63 units

The perimeter of the trapezoid is 38 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a geometry problem is given, it is often useful if it is sketched out. A sketch of this problem can be found in the image attached.

A)

We can see that a right-angled triangle is formed between points BED, with line BE being the height, h.

To get the dimensions of the line EB, we subtract the dimensions of DC from AB. This will give 15 -5 = 10

hence the dimensions of the righ angled triangle are

DE= h

DB = 12 (diagonal)

EB = 10

From Pythagoras' theorem,

h =\sqrt{12^2 -10^2}=6.63

The height of the trapezoid is 6.63

B)

We can get the perimeter of the trapezoid by adding the dimensions of all four sides together.

This will be

AD + DC + CB + AB

However we can assume for this case that it is a symmetrical trapezoid, and hence AD = CB

Thus, perimeter =

2 (AD) + DC +AB

2(9) +5 +15 = 38.

The perimeter of the trapezoid is 38 units

A right triangle has side lengths 7, 24, and 25 as shown below.
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Tan B = 0.2917 (16.26 degrees)

Sin B = 0.2800 (16.26 degrees)

Cos B = 0.9600 (16.26 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for details.

The right angled triangle LNB has been drawn with the sides labeled as 7, 24 and 25 as indicated. With angle B as the reference angle, we can now identify each side as follows;

Side 7 (opposite, facing the reference angle)

Side 24 (adjacent, between the reference angle and the right angle)

Side 25 (hypotenuse, facing the right angle).

Hence, using the trigonometric ratios,

Tan B = opposite/adjacent

Tan B = 7/24

Tan B = 0.2917 (16.26 degrees)

Sin B = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin B = 7/25

Sin B = 0.2800 (16.26 degrees)

Cos B = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos B = 24/25

Cos B = 0.9600 (16.26 degrees)

Amy is six years older than her brother Leo. Leo is seven years old. If n stands for Amy's age, which of these sentences could b
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

n = 6+x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amy is 6 years old than her brother Leo

Let consider the age of Leo to be x since we are not yet told how old is Leo

Then Amy is 6+x

Now, we know that Leo is seven years old,

i.e x = 7

If n stands for Amy's age,

Then, the algebraic expression showing how old is Amy's age can be expressed as n = 6+x

Amy's age (n) = 6+7

Amy's age (n) = 13
