Answer:

735 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a trapezium .The area of the triangle section can be calculated using the Heron's formula.

The other part of the figure will be a square of sides 21 cm by 21 cm

Area of the square section

Area = l²

Area = 21* 21 = 441 cm²

Area of the triangle using Heron's formula

Sides of the triangle are ;

a= 28 cm

c= 35 cm

b = 21 cm -----height of the trapezium

The Heron's formula is given as;

$A=\sqrt{s( s-a)(s-b )(s-c )}$

where s is half the perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter of the triangle is given as ;

P= 35 + 28 + 21 =84 cm

s= 84/2 = 42 cm

$A=\sqrt{42*(42-21 )*(42-35 )*(42-28 )} \\\\A=\sqrt{42*(21 )*(7 )*( 14)} \\\\A=\sqrt{86436} \\\\A=294\\\\$

Total area = 294 + 441 = 735 cm²

David, a platform diver, dives into the pool during practice. The height of David above the water at any given time, s, can be m

ella [17]

Check the pictures below.

if we knew the roots/solutions of the equation, we can set h(s) = 0 and solve for "s" to find out how many seconds is it when the height is 0.

if you notice in the first picture, when f(x) = 0, is when the parabola hits a root/solution or the ground, for David he'll be hitting the water surface, and the equation that has both of those roots/solutions conspicuous is

h(s) = -4.9(s - 2)(s + 1).

I now have another question to ask.

Answer:

23.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Sketch a right triangle representing this situation. The length of the hypotenuse is 26 ft and the angle of elevation from ground to top of ladder is 65°. The "opposite side" is the reach of the ladder, which we'll call x.

Then:

opp

sin 65° = ----------
26 ft

or (26 ft)(sin 65°) = opp side = height off the ground of top of ladder.

Evaluating this, we get:

(26 ft)(0.906) = 23.56 ft, or, rounded off, 23.6 ft

The ladder reaches 23.6 ft up the side of the building.

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

cestrela7 [59]

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

Explanation

Suppose, $x$ gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be: $(35-x)$ gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the distance traveled by the first car in $x$ gallons of gas $=35x$ miles and the distance traveled by the second car in $(35-x)$ gallons of gas $=15(35-x)$ miles.
