Given:
The figure of two parallel lines MP and QS.
A transversal line KL interests the two parallel lines.
To find:
The .
Solution:
If a transversal line intersect the two parallel lines, then the corresponding angles are congruent and their measures are equal.
In the given figure and
corresponding angles. It means their measures are equal.
Therefore, .
Answer:
Answer:
Heavenly, we need the forumula for the area of a triangle, do you know it?
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is (1/2 ) * B*H
where B = base
H = height
then
A = 1/2* B * H
A is given to be 20
B = b
H = b+4
plug all those into the formula,
20 = (1/2)*b*(b+4)
use your algebra skillz :P
20 = 1/2 *( + 4b)
20*2 = + 4b
40 = + 4b
0 = + 4b-40
rewrite the above so it's in x format
+ 4x -40 = 0
use the quadratic formula to find x , and for our problem, remember that x represents the base, or b, but don't mix it up with the b in the quadatic fomula, with the b of the triangle, which is the base, they are differnt "b"s :P
X = (b± ) / 2*a
a = 1
b = 4
c = -40
x = (4± ) /2*1
x = ( 4± ) / 2
x = (4± ) / 2
x = (4±13.266499)/2
x= 2±6.633249
x = 2 + 6.633249 = 8.633
b= 8.633 cm
