When solving the distance formula it is the distance from one point to another. If you had a rectangle and used the distance formula from each point then you would have a perimeter

Using a simulator at space camp, you practice landing your individual spaceship on landing platforms that have different shapes

Mila [183]

The Area of the platform is 33m²

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, the height of vertex from the base (D from AB) is 7m whereas the height of left vertex from the base (E from AB) is 4m

Thus it means the height of the Δ DCE (DX)= 7-4 ⇒3m

Since the platform is five-sided, the figure can be broken down into constituting parts

Parallelogram ║ABCE
Δ DCE

Are of the figure= Area of ║ABCE+ area Δ DCE

Area of ║ABCE= breadth * height

= 6*4 ⇒24m ²

Area Δ DCE= ½*(base)(height)

Putting the value of base is 6m and height as 3m

Area Δ DCE= ½*6*3

=9m ²

Total area= 24+9= 33m ²
