2 * AB = AC
2 * 8v = 2v + 42
16v - 2v = 42
14v = 42
v = 42/14
v = 3
BC = AB = 8v = 8*3 = 24
Answer:
168 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The square would be 36 in²
Area of a triangle is A= 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (11 x 6), A= 1/2 (66)
1/2 (66) = 33 in², which is the area of a triangle.
Then you multiply 33 x 4 to get the area of all the triangles, which is 132 in²
You add the area of the square to the area of the triangles, which is 168 in².
Any transformation involving change of scale will not result in a congruent figure. Rotations and reflections and translations maintain congruence.
For anyone else who needs the right answer...it’s “parallel to the base”. I just did it and I got it right.
