In the largest triangle, the missing side has length
√((11 + 5)² - <em>x</em> ²) = √(256 - <em>x</em> ²)
But it's also the hypotenuse of the triangle with side lengths 11 and <em>y</em>, so that its length can also be written as
√(11² + <em>y</em> ²) = √(121 + <em>y</em> ²)
so that
√(256 - <em>x</em> ²) = √(121 + <em>y</em> ²)
or, by taking the squares of both sides,
256 - <em>x</em> ² = 121 + <em>y</em> ²
<em>y</em> ² = 135 - <em>x</em> ²
In the smallest triangle, you have
5² + <em>y</em> ² = <em>x</em> ² ==> <em>x</em> ² = 25 + <em>y</em> ²
Substitute this into the previous equation and solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> ² = 135 - (25 + <em>y</em> ²)
<em>y</em> ² = 110 - <em>y</em> ²
2<em>y</em> ² = 110
<em>y</em> ² = 55
<em>y</em> = √55

Answer:
The area of the shaded region is 21.45cm².
Answer:
∠AOC
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement "A to O to C" is talking about each of the points that form an angle. Each point is given a letter as its name.
The symbol ∠ <u>means angle</u>.
You need two lines to form an angle, and you need two points to form a line. By reusing one of the points, you need three points to form an angle. The point that is being reused is always the point in the middle, in this case, that point is called 'O'.
