1. The diagonal of a quadrilateral

Mathematics
1 answer:
zalisa [80]2 years ago
6 0

Consider the length of diagonal is 8.5 cm instead of 8.5 m because length of perpendiculars are in cm.

Given:

Length of the diagonal of a quadrilateral = 8.5 cm

Lengths  of the perpendiculars dropped on  it from the remaining opposite  vertices are 3.5 cm and 4.5 cm.

To find:

The area of the quadrilateral.

Solution:

Diagonal divides the quadrilateral in 2 triangles. If diagonal is the base of both triangles then the lengths  of the perpendiculars dropped on  it from the remaining opposite  vertices are heights of those triangles.

According to the question,

Triangle 1 :  Base = 8.5 cm and Height = 3.5 cm

Triangle 2 :  Base = 8.5 cm and Height = 4.5 cm

Area of a triangle is

Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height

Using this formula, we get

Area(\Delta 1)=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8.5\times 3.5

Area(\Delta 1)=14.875

and

Area(\Delta 2)=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8.5\times 4.5

Area(\Delta 2)=19.125

Now, area of the quadrilateral is

Area=Area(\Delta 1)+Area(\Delta 2)

Area=14.875+19.125

Area=34

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 34 cm².

In traveling from a dormitory to a certain city, a student went 1/5 of the way by foot, 2/3 of the way by bus, and the remaining
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, what we know is that the total distance from the dormitory to the city is 1 if expressed in fraction. What we need to know is the fraction of the journey that is scheduled as the last part.

We can get this by subtracting the fractions of the first two phases from 1.

This goes as follows:

1 - (1/5) - (2/3) = 2/15

Now, we know that the final 8 kilometers constitute a fraction of just 2/5

Hence, we know that 2/15 of the total journey is 8 kilometers.

Let the total journey distance be T. This means that 2/15 of T is 8km

2/15 * T = 8km

T = ( 8 * 15 )/2 = 120/2 = 60km

9 1/2 divided by 3 7/10
OleMash [197]

Solution:

<u>Convert the fractions into improper fractions and solve.</u>

  • 9 1/2 ÷ 3 7/10
  • => 19/2 ÷ 37/10
  • => 19/2 x 10/37
  • => 19 x 5/37
  • => 95/37

<u>Convert the fraction into mixed fraction (Not required):</u>

  • => 95/37 = 37/37 + 37/37 + 21/37
  • => 1 + 1 + 21/37
  • => 2 + 21/37
  • => 2 21/37

The solution to the problem is 2 21/37.

Is this equation a true statement when x = 6?<br>-2 + 11 - 5x = 5 -6x​
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know the value of x lets plug it in and multiply it

-2+11-5(6)=5-6(6)

-2+11-30=5-36

Now lets put them together

9-30=5-36

-21 = -31

Making x=6 false
