Hi i need hep so i have a math problem . It has a triangle on top of a rectangle. Its geometry find area. Since i cant post the picture.
The triangle is right triangle with the dash line in the middle with 90 degree box . On the side it has number 34 .
Then on the rectangle that is located right under neath the triangle it has the little boxes on all four corners and on the height side has number 12.
How do i find area?
Is it 908
To find the area of the figure you described, which consists of a triangle on top of a rectangle, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Find the area of the triangle:
The triangle is a right triangle with a side length of 34 and a height that is not given. However, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height. The Pythagorean theorem states that in any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (in this case, the side length of 34) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, let's calculate the height (h) using the Pythagorean theorem:
h^2 = 34^2 - 12^2
h^2 = 1156 - 144
h^2 = 1012
h ≈ √1012
h ≈ 31.78 (rounded to two decimal places)
Now that we have the height of the triangle, we can find its area using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area of the triangle = (1/2) * base * height
Area of the triangle = (1/2) * 34 * 31.78
Area of the triangle ≈ 536.78 (rounded to two decimal places)
2. Find the area of the rectangle:
The rectangle has a height of 12 and a width that is not given. However, since the rectangle is located right underneath the triangle, we can use the base of the triangle (which is 34) as the width of the rectangle.
So, the area of the rectangle is simply the product of its height and width:
Area of the rectangle = base * height
Area of the rectangle = 34 * 12
Area of the rectangle = 408
3. Find the total area:
Finally, to find the total area of the figure, we add the area of the triangle and the area of the rectangle:
Total area = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangle
Total area ≈ 536.78 + 408
Total area ≈ 944.78
Therefore, the approximate area of the figure you described is 944.78 square units.
