Trapezia ABCD and PQRS are similar. Find the area shaded in green.

Mathematics

The area shaded in green is 864 cm²

<h3>Similar figures</h3>

Similar figures, corresponding angles are congruent and the sides are ratio of each other. Therefore,

AB / PQ = CD / RS

30 / 10 = 24 / RS

30RS = 240

RS = 240 / 30

RS = 8 cm

let find the height of trapezium PQRS.

AB / PQ  = 36 / h

30 / 10 = 36 / h

30h = 360

h = 360 / 30

h = 12 cm

Therefore,

area of the green portion = area of ABCD - area of PQRS

<h3>Area of a trapezium</h3>
  • area = 1 / 2(a + b)h

Therefore,

area of ABCD = 1 / 2(24 + 30)36 =  1 / 2 (54)36 = 1944 / 2 = 972 cm²

area of PQRS = 1 / 2(10 + 8)12 = 1 / 2(18)12 = 216 / 2 = 108 cm²

Area of the green portion = 972 - 108 = 864 cm²

Assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandw
pav-90 [236]
If we are to consider the number of slices of bread first,

      number of sandwiches = (28 slices of bread)(1 sandwich/ 2 slices of bread)
      number of sandwiches = 14 sandwiches

If we are to consider the number of slices of cheese
 
      number of sandwiches = (45 slices of cheese)(1 sandwich / 3 slices of cheese)
     number of sandwiches = 15 sandwiches

Since, 14 is smaller than 15 then, 14 is the answer.

<em>Answer: 14 sandwiches</em>
