I need help with an area math question
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of outer triangle =
= 2x*4x + 2x*3
= 8x² + 6x
Area of inner triangle=
Area of aluminium = area of outer triangle - area of inner triangle
= 8x² + 6x + 2x² + 5x
= 10x² + 11x
Area of 20 aluminum borders = 20*(10x² + 11x) = 200x² + 220x
b) x = 25 cm
Area of 20 aluminum borders = 200*25² + 220*25
= 200 * 625 + 220*25
= 125000 + 5500
= 130500 cm²
c) Area of inner triangle (Glass) = 5500 cm²
Cost of aluminium = 130500 * 0.06 = $ 7830
Cost of glass = 5500 * 0.03 = $ 165
Cost of making 20 windows = 7830 + 165 = $ 7995

Notice that based on the diagram, all of the sides of the triangle are the same length. (The dashes on the sides of the triangle show that the sides are of congruence.) This means that the triangle is an equilateral triangle. An important thing to note about equilateral triangles is that they all have angles of 60°. All angles in equivalent triangles are 60°.
This means that we can set equal to 60 to solve for
:
- Set up
- Add 3 to both sides
- Divide both sides by 7
Our answer is x = 9.
