Answer:
12√5
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the attached sketch, there are 2 triangles which we need to focus on, triangle A (in yellow) and triangle B (In red).
If you look at triangle A, we notice that X is the hypotenuse of triangle A. This means that X must be the largest length in triangle A, hence we can say that x must be greater than 24 (or 24 < x)
Now look at triangle B, in this case, they hypotenuse is 30 and x is the length of one of the sides. This means that x must be shorter than the hypotenuse (i.e x < 30)
from the 2 paragraphs above, we can see now that we can assemble an inequality in x
24 < x < 30
If we look at the choices, we can immediately ignore 33 because x must be less than 30,
working out the choices, we find that the only choice which falls into the range 24<x<30 is the 2nd choice 12√5 (= 26.83) (which is the answer)
The last 2 choices give values smaller than 24 and are hence cannot be the answer
Answer:
- B. 191.4 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the trapezoid as pictured below
Find its height and the upper base, then find the area of the trapezoid.
There are 3 pieces, two of them are 45°×45° and 30°×60°×90° triangles
- The ratio of sides of a 30°×60°×90° triangle is 1 : √3 : 2
- The legs of a 45x45 triangle are equal
<u>The above mentioned properties give us:</u>
- h = 16/2 = 8 m
- b = 8√3 ≈ 13.85 m
- a = h = 8 m
<u>Now find the area:</u>
- A = 1/2( 13 + 8 + 13.85 + 13)*8 = 191.4 m²
Correct choice is B
