The value of x when the triangle and the parallelogram have the same area is 6 units

<h3>The dimensions</h3>

The dimension of the parallelogram is given as:

  • Height = x
  • Base = 4 + x

The dimension of the triangle is given as:

  • Height = x
  • Base = 20

<h3>Areas</h3>

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies

The area of the parallelogram is calculated as:

Area = x (4 + x)

The area of the triangle is calculated as:

Area = 0.5 \times 20 \times x

Area = 10x

Both areas are equal.

So, we have:

x(4 + x) = 10x

Divide both sides by x

4 + x = 10

Subtract 4 from both sides

x =6

Hence, the value of x is 6 units

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

40+16+y=180°

56+y=180°

y=180-56

y=124°

124+15+x=180°

139+x=180°

x=180-139

<em>x=41°</em>

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal of a square that has an area of 289 square inches
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The answer is approximately 24.041 inches (round to the nearest tenth, hundredth, or thousandth if it is indicated in the instructions.)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I figured out what the square root of 289 is. The square root of 289 is 17.

Given that this is a square we are dealing with, we can assume that all sides are equal.

So, when you draw a diagonal down the square, it becomes two triangles, one of which we can use the Pythagorean theorem for.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Thus, 17^2 + 17^2 = 578. The square root of 578 unfortunately does not come out evenly, so we are left with approximately 24.041 inches.

I hope this helps!
