Answer: 16 square units</h3>
Let x be the height of the parallelogram. Right now it's unknown, but we can solve for it using the pythagorean theorem. Focus on the right triangle. It has legs a = 3 and b = x, with hypotenuse c = 5
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + x^2 = 5^2
9 + x^2 = 25
x^2 = 25-9
x^2 = 16
x = sqrt(16)
x = 4
This is a 3-4-5 right triangle.
The height of the parallelogram is 4 units.
We have enough info to find the area of the parallelogram
Area of parallelogram = base*height
Area of parallelogram = 4*4
Area of parallelogram = 16 square units
Coincidentally, the base and height are the same, which isn't always going to be the case. The base is visually shown as the '4' in the diagram. The height is the dashed line, which also happens to be 4 units long.
$10.62? Im not sure if its correct
Answer: There are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.
Explanation:
Since we have given that
For every 5 pieces of cloth, 2 are rectangles
So, remaining piece will be of triangle so,
3 are triangles.
Ratio of rectangles to triangles is 2:3.
Now, she needs 15 pieces of cloth to complete her scarf,
So, Number of rectangles is needed is given by
Number of triangles is needed is given by
Hence, there are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.
The correct answer is B.
Any square root that is not a perfect square is irrational. Root 3 is not a perfect square and therefore, it is irrational. Note the Root 16 is a perfect suare because 4*4=16
