You use the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and the parts include the hypotenuse which is across from the right angle(the diagonal part of the triangle) and this is also the c for the equation and the a and b are the two legs(the other lengths of the triangle) and to find one of these you plug what you know into the equation and go from there

Find the area of the triangle.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

20 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Formula (Area of triangle):</u>

<u /> $\text{A (Triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$

From the triangle, we can see that the base of the triangle is "7 + 3" m and the height of the triangle is "4" m.

<u /> $\implies \text{A (Triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (7 + 3) \times (4)$

Simplify the right-hand-side as needed to evaluate the area.

<u /> $\implies \text{A (Triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (10) \times (4)$

<u /> $\implies \text{A (Triangle)} = \dfrac{40}{2} = 20 \ \text{m}^{2}$

Therefore, the area of the provided triangle is 20 m².

If m angle ECD is six less than five times m angle BCE, and mangle BCD = 162º. find each

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let ∠BCE = x then ∠ECD = 5x - 6 and

∠BCE + ∠ECD = ∠BCD, substitute values

x + 5x - 6 = 162, that is

6x - 6 = 162 ( add 6 to both sides )

6x = 168 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 28

Hence

∠BCE = x = 28°

∠ECD = 5x - 6 = (5 × 28) - 6 = 140 - 6 = 134°

nadezda [96]

Answer:

126250

Step-by-step explanation:

5.5% of 250000 is 13750 so you multiply 13750 by 9 which = 123750 then you subtract 123750 from 250000 so you get your answer
