Answer:

D. 4,704 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving a scale of 1 in. = 14 ft, to find the actual area of the field represented by the triangular drawing above, convert the length of the base and height to the actual lengths of the field using the scale.

Height of drawing = 8 in.

Actual height = 8*14 = 112 ft

Base of drawing = 6 in.

Actual base = 6*14 = 84 ft

Area of the field = area of ∆

Area = ½*base*height

Area = ½*84*112

Area = 4,704 ft²

Find the length of the height of the right trapezoid shown below, if it has the greatest possible area and its perimeter is equa

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The height of the right trapezoid is $\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the right trapezoid in units

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+DH+HA$

we have

$P=6\ units$

$AB=BC=CH=HA=x$ ---> because is a square

substitute

$6=x+x+CD+DH+x$

$6=3x+CD+DH$ -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle CDH</em>

$sin(30\°)=\frac{CH}{CD}$

$sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}$

Remember that $CH=x$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{CD}$

$CD=2x$

$tan(30\°)=\frac{CH}{DH}$

$tan(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{x}{DH}$

$DH=x\sqrt{3}$

substitute the values in the equation A

$6=3x+CD+DH$ -----> equation A

$CD=2x$

$DH=x\sqrt{3}$

$6=3x+2x+x\sqrt{3}$

$6=5x+x\sqrt{3}$

$6=x[5+\sqrt{3}]$

$x=\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units$
