Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the value of y, first we need to find the length of the perpendicular dropped from one of the vertices of the triangle to its opposite side.
By geometric mean theorem:
Length of the perpendicular
Next, by Pythagoras theorem:

The answer is D. If you divide 1000 by 100, it is 10. 10 is equal to 1/100 of its previous value of 1000.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
For figure (i) both triangles are congruent


For figure (ii)
Two triangles WXZ and WZY are congruent

Answer:
B 17.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
tangent = opposite / adjacent
tan 35° = h / 25
multiply both sides by 25
h = 25 (tan 35°)
tan 35° = 0.70 (from your calculator)
h = 25 (0.70)
h = 17.51 ft.
Answer:
(d) 112 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formla ...
A = bh . . . . . . where b is the base length and h is the height
__
Here, the base is divided into parts, but their total length is 5m+9m = 14m. The height is given as 8m, so the area is ...
A = (14 m)(8 m) = 112 m²
The area of the parallelogram is 112 square meters.
__
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can also figure this as the sum of the areas of the two triangles and that of the center rectangle.
A = 2(1/2bh) +bh
A = 2(1/2(5 m)(8 m)) +(9 m)(8 m) = 40 m² +72 m² = 112 m²
