Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 8cm and 9cm. The diagonal joining the ends of these sides is 13cm. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.

hintHint:

area of parallelogram  ABCD = area of Δ ABC + area of Δ ADC
In parallelogram diagonal divide the area in to two equal parts
I.e  area of Δ ABC =  area of Δ ADC.
Find area of area of Δ ABC by heron's formula for finding the area of triangle

The correct answer is: 70.9929 cm2


    Ans :- 70.9929 (in sq.centimeters)
    Explanation :-
    Step 1:- Find the area of Δ ABC from heron's formula
    Here, side length of triangle are 9,8 and 13 cm
    Heron's formula for area of triangle with side length
    a,b,c are Area = square root of s left parenthesis s minus a right parenthesis left parenthesis s minus b right parenthesis left parenthesis s minus c right parenthesis end root
    Where straight s equals fraction numerator a plus b plus c over denominator 2 end fraction
    Let a = 9;b = 8 ;c = 13   We get s = fraction numerator 9 plus 8 plus 13 over denominator 2 end fraction = 15
    Area of  Δ ADC=square root of 15 left parenthesis 15 minus 9 right parenthesis left parenthesis 15 minus 8 right parenthesis left parenthesis 15 minus 13 right parenthesis end root
    =square root of 15 cross times 6 cross times 7 cross times 2 end root
    equals square root of 1260 equals 6 square root of 35 cm squared
    We get the area of Δ ABC = 6 square root of 35(cm2).
    Step 2:- Find the area of  Δ ADC.
    In parallelogram diagonal divide the area in to two equal parts
    area of Δ ABC =  area of Δ ADC
    area of Δ ADC = 6 square root of 35  (cm2).
    Step 3:- Find the total area of parallelogram
    area of parallelogram  ABCD = area of Δ ABC + area of Δ ADC
    area of parallelogram  ABCD = 6 square root of 35  (cm2) + 6 square root of 35  (cm2)
    ∴Area of parallelogram  ABCD = 12 square root of 35 = 70.9929 (cm2).

    text  If  end text x plus 3 equals 2 x minus 2 comma text  what is the value of  end text x minus 4 ?

    Note:
    Instead of adding 2 on both sides, we can also understand the concept by taking  -2 of the right hand side on the left hand side and then the sign changes to + 2 . Similarly, instead of subtracting both sides by , we can understand it by saying that we take + x  from the left hand side to the right hand side, and here it becomes  - x .
    Thus, addition becomes subtraction and vice-versa when taken from left hand side to right hand side or the opposite way; and multiplication becomes division and vice-versa. Be careful, 0 is never taken in the denominator.

    2 x open parentheses x squared plus 1 close parentheses plus open parentheses 2 x squared minus 2 x close parentheses
    Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the expression above?

    Note:
    Another way of solving this problem is to expand all the terms in the expression
    2 x open parentheses x squared plus 1 close parentheses plus open parentheses 2 x squared minus 2 x close parentheses
    Then we get,
    2 x cubed plus 2 x plus 2 x squared minus 2 x
    Thus, we will get that
    2 x open parentheses x squared plus 1 close parentheses plus open parentheses 2 x squared minus 2 x close parentheses
    Can be written as
    2 x cubed plus 2 x squared
    This also gives the same answer as above. No matter which method we use to simplify the expression, we will always get a unique answer.

    Identify all pairs of congruent corresponding parts. Then write another congruence statement for the
    figures

    Two polygons are considered to be congruent if the sides and angles match. When two sides or angles have the same length are considered to be congruent. We demonstrate that the angles are congruent by inserting the same slash marks through each one.
    The symbol for congruence is ≅ and can be written as △ABC ≅ △DEF. ∠A is equivalent to ∠D, ∠B to ∠E, and ∠C to ∠F. Side AB corresponds to DE, BC to EF, and AC to DF.
    Two triangles are formed with three sides that are congruent. Triangles are congruent if all three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent.
