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

What are the coordinates
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(1.5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know how to explain. I used GeoGebra and I put the coordinate down and then made lines. Line AC and line BD. Then I put a point on where it intersects and it comes out to (1.5,1). You can also use distance formula, but that is more work.

64 POINTS AWARDED, PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!!!
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Area of rectangle = 40 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

<u>Distance formula</u>

Length of a line segment with end points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth

<u>To find the length and breadth</u>

Here a rectangle with vertices at (7, 3), (12, 3), (12, 11), and (7, 11)

Length1 =  √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

√[(12 - 7)² + (3 - 3)²] = √5² = 5

Length2 =  √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

√[(12 - 12)² + (11 - 3)²] = √8² = 8 units

Therefore Length of rectangle = 8 and  

Breadth of rectangle = 5 units

<u>To find the area of rectangle</u>

Area = Length * Breadth

  = 8 * 5 =  40 square units

I need help with this please
Ierofanga [76]
C is the correct answer


we should find the area of the square and then divide it by 24.
(360/15=24)


6 \times 6 \times \pi \times  \frac{1}{24}  = 36 \times \pi \times  \frac{1}{24}   \\  = 113.04 \times  \frac{1}{24}  = 4.71



good luck
