Answer:

Area = 9(7w -1) cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by the expression,

Area = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{height})$

From the picture attached,

Base of the triangle = 18 cm

Height of the triangle = Vertical distance of the third vertex from the base joining other two vertices = (7w - 1)

Area = $\frac{1}{2}(18)(7w-1)$

= 9(7w - 1) square cm

Therefore, expression for the area of the given triangle will be,

Area = 9(7w -1) cm²

I am Lyosha [343]

You can draw a diagram of the situation, representing it by a right triuangle.

In the right triangle the hypotenuse is the distance indicated by the radio signal, 1503 m, and the angle is 41°.

The opposed leg to 41° is the height of the ballon.

Then you can use the sine trigonometric function.

sine (41°) = opposed leg / hypotenuse = x / 1503 m => x = 1503m * sine(41°)

=> x = 986m.

Answer: 986m

Option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively. This can be obtained by knowing what similar triangles are and finding which sides are proportional.

<h3>Find the correct option:</h3>

Similar triangles: If two triangles have proportional sides the are similar.

For example, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then

$\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}$

∠ABC = ∠DEF and ∠ACB = ∠DFE

Then we can write that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Here in this question,

Since A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV

XA = AW

WY = VY

XZ = VZ

To consider sides AY and XV we should take triangles ΔWAY and ΔWXV

$\frac{WX}{WA} =\frac{2WA}{WA} = 2$ (since A is the midpoint of WX)

$\frac{WV}{WY} =\frac{2WY}{WY} = 2$ (since Y is the midpoint of WV)

∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)

Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles

$\frac{WX}{WA}= \frac{XV}{AY} =\frac{WV}{WY}$ = 2

∠WAY = ∠WXV and ∠AYW = ∠XVW

Hence,

AY || XV option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively.

How do u do this? I have a quiz tomorrow and this is so confusing. Any easier ways to do it?

ehidna [41]

Answer:

sure there is

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS means side side side so if 3 of the sides on each triangle are the same then its congruent Any time you see an A it stands for angle so you only have to learn the leters and then everything else is pretty straight forward
