Answer:

108 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

For the polygon on the left, we are given the length of one side (3 ft) and the total area (27 ft²). With this information, we can determine the length of the other side - 9 ft. I found this by dividing 27 ft² by 3 ft, giving me the final result of 9 ft.

Next, we have to find the other side of the polygon on the <em>right</em> so we can ultimately determine its area. It looks like there is a scale factor of 2 between the two polygons, since 3 × 2 = 6. We know that the bottom side of the left polygon is 9, so multiplying 9 by 2 should give us the bottom side of the polygon on the right. 9 × 2 = 18.

Now, we have the side lengths for the polygon on the right and can determine its area. What is 6 ft × 18 ft? Well, the answer is 107 ft², and this is the answer to the question.

Hopefully that's helpful! :)

Answer:

m = y2 - y1 / 2 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it is asking you to plug in the numbers into the equation.

You need to use this formula:
([a]/[sinA])=([c]/[sinC])-I am going to use 'a' for the x, and 'c' for 16(square root of 3)
Now its just getting 'a' by itself.
([c] times [sinA])/([sinC])=[a]
[c]=16 square root of 3
sinA=sin(60)=(square root of 3)/2
sinC=sin(90)=1

Plug it in to get 24 for a, or x. Do the same to figure out y with the new sides.
The final y is:
8 square root of 3
Final answer is C.

8 - 3 = 5
D.5

to find the average you need to multiply depending on the sittuation

A rectangular plot of ground is 5 meters longer than it is wide, It’s area is 20,000 square meters

Artyom0805 [142]

I'm assuming you're looking for the dimensions of the plot. I'm going with that. ;) If the length of the plot is 5 meters longer than the width, then L = w + 5. The area for a rectangle is L*w, and we have an area value of 20,000 so our formula is 20000=(w+5)(w) and $20,000=w^2+5w$ . We will bring the 20,000 over by subtraction and set the polynomial equal to 0 to factor and solve for w. $w^2+5w-20,000=0$ Solving for w we get values of w=138.9 and -143.9. Of course the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, so -143.9 is out. Our width is 138.9 and the length is 138.9 + 5 so the length is 143.9. And there you go! Hope that's what you needed!
