I think the answer would be one point
break it up into simpler shapes. See the photo.
There is:
trapezoid
A = 0.5(3.2+6.5)4.5
= 21.825
triangle
A = 0.5(2.7)4.5
= 6.075
rectangle
A = 1.8(4.5)
= 8.1
Total Area = 21.825 + 6.075 + 8.1
= 36
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
See the picture attached.
We know:
NM // XZ
NY = transversal line
∠YXZ ≡ ∠YNM
1) <span>
We know that ∠XYZ is congruent to ∠NYM by the reflexive property.</span>
The reflexive property states that any shape is congruent to itself.
∠NYM is just a different way to call ∠XYZ using different vertexes, but the sides composing the two angles are the same.
Hence, ∠XYZ ≡ <span>∠NYM</span> by the reflexive property.
2) Δ<span>
XYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA (angle-angle) similarity theoremThe AA similarity theorem states that if two triangles have a pair of corresponding angles congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
Consider </span>Δ<span>XYZ and ΔNYM:
</span>∠YXZ ≡ <span>∠YNM
</span>∠XYZ ≡ ∠NYM
Hence, ΔXYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA similarity theorem.
