Answer:
6 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Carpet has w= 8 ft and l = 12 ft
Reduced carpet has w' = 2 ft
<u>Reduction factor is </u>
<u>Then </u>
<u>Area of small carpet</u>
The answer is a (three eights over three fifths= five eights)
1. N is a midpoint of the segment KL, then N has coordinates
2. To find the area of △KNM, the length of the base MK is 2b, and the length of the height is a. So an expression for the area of △KNM is
3. To find the area of △MNL, the length of the base ML is 2a and the length of the height is b. So an expression for the area of △MNL is
4. Comparing the expressions for the areas you have that the area is equal to the area . This means that the segment from the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the opposite vertex forms two triangles with equal areas.
