Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AB using the distance formula and equate to 5

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (0, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, a )

d = $\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(a-4)^2}$

= $\sqrt{3^2+(a-4)^2}$

= $\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2}$ , then

$\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2}$ = 5 ( square both sides )

9 + (a - 4)² = 5² = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

(a - 4)² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )

a - 4 = 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

a = 8

For the vectors Bold uequalsleft angle negative 8 comma 0 comma 1 right angleand Bold vequalsleft angle 1 comma 3 comma negative

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two vectors U = (-8,0,1)

V = (1,3,-3)

To find projection of u on V and also projection of V on U

First let us find the dot product U and V

U.V = $-8(1)+0(3)+1(-3)\\= -11$

Projection of U on V = $\frac{U.V}{|V|} \\=\frac{-11}{\sqrt{1+9+9} } \\=\frac{-11}{\sqrt{19} }$

Similarly projection of V on U

= $\frac{U.V}{|U|} \\=\frac{-11}{\sqrt{64+0+1} } \\=\frac{-11}{\sqrt{65} }$

. CDEF is a trapezium

guajiro [1.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

24 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the trapezium, we must know the length CD. That means we must know the length BC. Fortunately, the perimeter of ABCF is given, so we have ...

P = 2(AB +BC)

BC = (P/2) -AB = (20 cm)/2 - 6 cm = 4 cm

Then CD is ...

CD = BD -BC = 9 cm -4 cm = 5 cm

The area of the trapezium is given by the formula ...

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

A = (1/2)(5 cm + 3 cm)(6 cm) = 24 cm²

The area of trapezium CDEF is 24 cm².
