It will be 3,000 because 14 x 3 = 42 and 1,000 x 3 = 3,000

find the area of the trapezium whose parallel sides are 25 cm and 13 cm The Other sides of a Trapezium are 15 cm and 15 CM

Snezhnost [94]

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Given - A trapezium ABCD with non parallel sides of measure 15 cm each ! along , the parallel sides are of measure 13 cm and 25 cm

To find - Area of trapezium

Refer the figure attached ~

In the given figure ,

AB = 25 cm

BC = AD = 15 cm

CD = 13 cm

Construction -

$draw \: CE \: \parallel \: AD \: \\ and \: CD \: \perp \: AE$

Now , we can clearly see that AECD is a parallelogram !

$\therefore$ AE = CD = 13 cm

Now ,

$AB = AE + BE \\\implies \: BE =AB - AE \\ \implies \: BE = 25 - 13 \\ \implies \: BE = 12 \: cm$

Now , In ∆ BCE ,

$semi \: perimeter \: (s) = \frac{15 + 15 + 12}{2} \\ \\ \implies \: s = \frac{42}{2} = 21 \: cm$

Now , by Heron's formula

$area \: of \: \triangle \: BCE = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ \implies \sqrt{21(21 - 15)(21 - 15)(21 - 12)} \\ \implies \: 21 \times 6 \times 6 \times 9 \\ \implies \: 12 \sqrt{21} \: cm {}^{2}$

Also ,

$area \: of \: \triangle \: = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \\ \\\implies 18 \sqrt{21} = \: \frac{1}{\cancel2} \times \cancel12 \times height \\ \\ \implies \: 18 \sqrt{21} = 6 \times height \\ \\ \implies \: height = \frac{\cancel{18} \sqrt{21} }{ \cancel 6} \\ \\ \implies \: height = 3 \sqrt{21} \: cm {}^{2}$

Since we've obtained the height now , we can easily find out the area of trapezium !

$Area \: of \: trapezium = \frac{1}{2} \times(sum \: of \:parallel \: sides) \times height \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{1}{2} \times (25 + 13) \times 3 \sqrt{21} \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{1}{\cancel2} \times \cancel{38 }\times 3 \sqrt{21} \\ \\ \implies \: 19 \times 3 \sqrt{21} \: cm {}^{2} \\ \\ \implies \: 57 \sqrt{21} \: cm {}^{2}$

hope helpful :D

How do you solve this ?

TEA [102]

$JK=9x-11\\KL=5x+2\\JL=(9x-11)+(5x+2)=(9x+5x)+(-11+2)=14x-9\\\\JK+KL=JL\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\14x-9=10x+7\ \ \ \ |+9\\\\14x=10x+16\ \ \ \ |-10x\\\\4x=16\ \ \ \ |:4\\\\x=4\\\\JK=9x-11\to JK=9(4)-11=36-11=25$

Stephanie has a homeowners insurance policy for her $355,000 home with an annual premium of $0.42 per $100 of value and a deduct

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$0.28 per 100 of value (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephanie has a homeowner insurance policy of $355,000

Annual premium = $0.42 per 100

There is a deductible of $500

Stephanie has an annual out of pocket expense of

[($355,000/100) x $0.42] + $500 = $1,991

From the question, Stephanie now wants a new deductible amount of 1000.

Let X be the new annual premium

[(355,000X) / 100] + 1000 = 1991

3550X + 1000 = 1991

3550X = 1991 -1000

3550X = 991

X = 991/3550

X = 0.2791

X = 0.28 ( approximately)

The new annual premium is $0.28 per 100 of value
