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

Using this formula, we get


and


Now, area of the quadrilateral is



Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 34 cm².
Capacity of the hard drive = 160 GB.
Used space = 122 GB.
Free space = 160 - 122 = 38 GB.
So, the size of the home video collection should be less than or equal to 38 GB.
If u is the amount of space used, then, u ≤ 38
If a is the amount of space available, then a = 38 - u.
In this equation, you have to treat the number in the bracket first on the basis of BODMAS
15 - [-3]- 4
Note that when two minuses come together the product is a plus sign.
15 +3 - 4
You have to add before you subract
18 - 4 =14
Therefore, 15- [-3] - 4 = 14.
