Answer:

5.562148865... cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

we are asked to calculate the area of all 4 shaded (darker) triangles.

it is clear that all 4 triangles are the same size and have therefore the same area.

so, we need to calculate one area and then multiply by 4.

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

and once we have the baseline, we can calculate the height by using Pythagoras :

2² = height² + (baseline/2)²

so, let's find the baseline :

the white and the dark triangles are similar triangles. that means they have the same angles, and the ratio of the corresponding pairs of sides fit both triangles is the same for all 3 pairs.

so, we see the dark legs are 2cm compared to the large, white triangles of 4cm.

so, the ratio dark triangle / white triangle = 1/2

and therefore the dark baseline is 3×1/2 = 1.5cm

so,

2² = height² + (1.5/2)² = height² + (0.75)² = height² +(3/4)²

4 = height² + 9/16 = height² + 0.5625

height² = 4 - 9/16 = 64/16 - 9/16 = 55/16 = 3.4375

height = sqrt(3.4375) = 1.854049622...cm

the area of such a dark triangle is therefore

1.5 × height / 2 = 0.75 × height = 1.390537216...cm²

4 times this area (and therefore the total area of shaded triangles) is : 5.562148865...cm²

Six decreased by 9 times a number is -39
Andrew [12]

The translation of the mathematical statement given as six decreased by 9 times a number is -39 is 9x - 6 = -39

<h3>How to translate the mathematical statement?</h3>

The mathematical statement is given as:

six decreased by 9 times a number is -39

9 times a number means

9 * x (assume x is the number)

So, we have:

six decreased by 9 times a number is -39 ⇒ six decreased by 9x is -39

Decreased by means we subtract 6 from 9x.

So, we have:

six decreased by 9 times a number is -39 ⇒ 9x - 6 = -39

Hence, the translation of the mathematical statement given as six decreased by 9 times a number is -39 is 9x - 6 = -39

I cant find out the answer for<br> the life of me
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

  • A. h = (S/2πr) - r

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solve the given for h:</u>

  • S = 2πrh + 2πr²

<u>Isolate h:</u>

  • 2πrh = S - 2πr²

<u>Divide all terms by 2πr:</u>

  • h = (S/2πr) - r

Correct choice is A
