Answer:

NK \approx 7.001, MK = 2, MF \approx 7.001, A_{AMNFD} = 49.007

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we find the following inputs:

\angle MDK = \angle DMF = 45^{\circ} (Due to the condition of isosceles trapezoid)

MD = 9

NF = 5

Given than longer base and shorter base are parallel to each other, we conclude that:

\angle KND = 180^{\circ} -\angle NKD - \angle KDN

\angle KND = 180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-45^{\circ}

\angle KND = 45^{\circ}

\angle FND = 90^{\circ}-\angle KND

\angle FND = 45^{\circ} (By definition of complementary angles)

\angle FND = \angle NFM = 45^{\circ} (Due to the condition of isosceles trapezoid)

\angle MDK = \angle DMF = \angle FND = \angle NFM = 45^{\circ}

\angle NOF = \angle MOD = \angle MOF = \angle FOD = 90^{\circ} (By definitions of complementary and vertical angles and the theorem that states that sum of internal angles within a triangle equals 180º)

MO = DO = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot MD (By theorem for 45-45-90 Right Triangle)

NO = OF = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot NF (By theorem for 45-45-90 Right Triangle)

If we know that MD = 9 and NF = 5, then we find that:

DO = MO \approx 6.364

NO = OF \approx 3.536

The value of MK is obtained from the following relationship:

MK = \frac{MD-NF}{2}

MK = \frac{9-5}{2}

MK = 2

And the value of KD is calculated from this expression:

KD = MD-MK

KD = 9-2

KD = 7

Now by the Pythagorean Theorem we find that:

NK = \sqrt{(NO+DO)^{2}-KD^{2}}

NK = \sqrt{9.9^{2}-7^{2}}

NK \approx 7.001

And considering the symmetry characteristics of an isosceles trapezoid, we determine MF:

MF = NO + DO \approx 7.001

Lastly, the area of the isosceles trapezoid is determined by the following formula:

A_{AMNFD} = NF\cdot NK + MK\cdot NK

A_{AMNFD} = NK\cdot (NF+MK)

If we know that NK \approx 7.001, NF = 5 and MK = 2, then the area of the figure is:

A_{AMNFD} = (7.001)\cdot (5+2)

A_{AMNFD} = 49.007

Identify the angle relationship, write an equation and Solve for x. ​
irakobra [83]

Answer:

2x-6+x+x=180

4x-6=180

4x=180+6

4x=186

x=\frac{186}{4}=46,5°

Step-by-step explanation: the other angle is equal to his simmetrical, cause the triangle is isosceles, so is value is x. The sum of the angle in a triangle must be 180°
