Question

Triangle FCD is cut from parallelogram ABCD moved with left-hand side. What are the dimensions of the resulting triangle AEFD?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle FCD is cut from parallelogram ABCD moved with left-hand side. What are the dimensions of the resulting rectangle AEFD?

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) in which opposite sides are parallel to each other.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides which are parallel and equal to each other. All the angles in a rectangle are at 90 degrees.

From the image, AD = z, FC = x, BF = w and BC = y. Hence:

EB = FC = x.

EF = AD = length = z; AE = FD = height = w

Therefore the dimensions of rectangle AEFD is length z and height w
