Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters. A fraction will include two numbers, one above the other. The first number, found above the line, is the numerator. The second number, located below the line, is the denominator. A denominator indicates the total number of equal parts into which something is divided

A right triangle ABC with right angle at B and base BC is drawn. Length of AB is 12, length of BC is 11.5. A similar right trian

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Length of PQ is 36 unit.

Explanation:

If the measures of two sides in one triangle are proportional to the corresponding sides in the another triangle and their including angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Given: Right angle triangle ABC at B , Length of AB = 12 unit and length of BC = 11.5 unit and in right angle triangle PQR at Q , length of QR = 34.5 unit.

Also it is given that Angle A is congruent to angle P and angle C is congruent to angle R.

To find the length of QR:

It is given that ΔABC and ΔPQR are Similar triangle

then, by the definition of similar triangle:

$\frac{PQ}{AB} = \frac{QR}{BC}$

Substitute the value of AB, QR and BC to solve for PQ;

$\frac{PQ}{12}=\frac{34.5}{11.5}$ or

$PQ = \frac{34.5 \times 12}{11.5}$

On simplify:

$PQ = 3 \times 12 = 36$

Therefore, the length of side PQ is 36 units.

What is the area, in square inches, of the isosceles trapezoid below?

Nostrana [21]

Area of a trapezoid: (top + bottom)/2 x height

Area = (6.5 + 15.1)/2 x 5

Area = 21.6/2 x 5

Area = 10.8 x 5

Area = 54 square inches.
