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

Mathematics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]2 years ago

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

Determine which postulate or theorem can be used to prove that ABC=DCB
lianna [129]

Answer with explanation:

In Δ ABC and ΔD BC

∠A=∠D-------Given

∠ABC=∠DCB-------Each being 90° given in the Diagram.

Side, BC is Common.

⇒⇒Δ ABC ≅ ΔD BC-------[AAS]

When two triangles are congruent , their areas are equal.

So, Area(ABC)=Area (DCB)

Option B :⇒ A AS

Find the height of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 12
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Answer

sqrt(108)

6 sqrt(3)

10.3923

I don't know which answer you  want.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Drop a perpendicular from the top angle to the base.
  • The base is cut into 2 equal parts.
  • Each part is 12/2 = 6
  • The perpendicular, as its name implies, meets the base at 90o.
  • You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

h^2 = side^2 - (1/2 b)^2

h^2 = 12^2 - 6^2

h^2 = 144 - 36

h^2 = 108

Take the square root of both sides

h = sqrt(108)

h = sqrt(2*2 * 3 * 3 * 3)

h = 2 * 3 sqrt(3)

h = 6sqrt(3)

h = 6 * 1.7321

h = 10.3923

Mrs Rivas bought a can of paint he used 3/8 of paint and 1/4 he also used some for a birdhouse and had 1/8 of paint left how muc
Degger [83]

Answer:

The amount of paint used in the  birdhouse = (1/4) of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of paint used in first go = 3/8

The amount of pain used in second go = 1/4

The amount of paint used in bird house = k

The amount paint left = 1/8

Now, according to the question:

Paint used in ( First go + second go + Birdhouse) + Paint left = 1 can Paint

⇒\frac{3}{8}  + \frac{1}{4} + k + \frac{1}{8}    = 1\\\implies \frac{3 + 1(2) + 1}{8} + k = 1\\ \frac{6}{8} + k = 1 \\\implies k = 1 - \frac{6}{8}  = \frac{8-6}{8}  = \frac{2}{8}  = \frac{1}{4} \\\implies k = \frac{1}{4}

or, The amount of paint used in the  birdhouse = (1/4)
