Two boards, one four inches wide and the other six inches wide, are nailed together to form an X. The angle at which they cross

is 60 degrees. If this structure is painted and the boards are separated what is the area of the unpainted region on the four-inch board? (The holes caused by the nails are negligible.) Express your answer in simplest radical form.

Answer:

The area of the unpainted region on the four inch board = 160·√3 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that the boards are crossing each other on their flat sides Therefore, when the boards are separated, the area of the unpainted region is the area of a parallelogram

The dimensions of the formed parallelogram are;

Interior angles = 60° and 120° (adjacent angles of a parallelogram)

Height, h of parallelogram formed = 4 inches

From the angle of crossing of the parallelogram, we have;

Angle between the width or perpendicular cross section of the 6 inches board and the angle of crossing of the two boards = 90° - 60° = 30°

Therefore, length of base, b of the parallelogram formed by the unpainted region is given as follows;

b = \frac{60}{cos(30)}  = 40\cdot \sqrt{3} \ inches

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram = b × h = 4 × 40·√3 = 160·√3 in.²

Hence, the area of the unpainted region on the four inch board = 160·√3 in.².

  1. About 127.3(square root of 16,200, or 90√2)  Look at this problem like a right triangle.  Each leg is 90 feet, so the hypotenuse is the square root of 90^2 + 90^2
  2. About 52.3(square root of 2735.64)  Another right triangle problem!  Once again, with Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) You can deduce that 60^2 = 29.4^2 + the width of the TV^2.
  3. About 11.6(Square root of 134.75)Another right triangle problem, you can deduce that 9.5^2 + The pool length^2 = 15^2

Hope it helps <3

(If it does, please give brainliest, only need one more for rank up :) )
