Answer:

WV = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ UVW and Δ XYW are similar ( by the AA postulate ) , then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{WV}{WY}$ = $\frac{WU}{WX}$ ( substitute values )

$\frac{WV}{18}$ = $\frac{35}{15}$ ( cross- multiply )

15 WV = 630 ( divide both sides by 15 )

WV = 42

Two semicircles are attached to the sides of a rectangle as shown.

melomori [17]

Answer:

$157\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of rectangle plus the area of two semicircles

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=14*5=70\ in^{2}$

The area of the small semicircle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2} /2$

$r=5/2=2.5\ in$ -----> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(2.5^{2})/2=9.8125 in^{2}$

The area of the larger semicircle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2} /2$

$r=14/2=7\ in$ -----> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(7^{2})/2=76.93\ in^{2}$

The area of the figure is equal to

$70+9.8125+76.93=156.7425=157\ in^{2}$
