Find the area of a figure
1 answer:
Answer:
4.62 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = 2.5 x 1 = 2.5
To get area of triangle we must use the altitude theorem to find the height:
let 'x' = altitude (or height)
x/1.5 = 2/x
cross-multiply to get:
x² = 3
x =
Area of triangle = 1/2(2.5)()
= 1.25 which is approx 2.12
Total area = 2.5 + 2.12 = 4.62

Remark
All Cavaliere's principle says is that a slanted cylinder (for example) has the same volume as a cylinder with perpendicular parallel lines that the cylinder is sitting on.
I little known or maybe not a well emphasized fact is that the base is the same all the way up the cylinder. The coin picture below shows that. The basic formula for a Cavaliere cylinder is the same as for an ordinary cylinder.
See picture below
Formula
V = B * H
Sub and Solve
V = 1024
r = 8
p=3.14
V = pi*r^2 * h
1024 = 3.14*8^2 * h combine the right side.
1024 = 3.14*64 *h
1024 = 200.96 * h divide by 200.96
1024/200.96 = h
You are only getting 5 inches.
None of your answers work.The conversion to meters is going to give you an even smaller number. If you add a comment, I'll come back and edit this question.
