Question

Please help me on dis question

Answer 1

a) See below

b)
`\huge\boxed{\sf Area\ of\ each\ triangle = 62.4\ in.\²}`

c)
`\huge\boxed{\sf Area\ of\ the\ table = 374.4\ in.\²}`

Explanation:

Part A:

We can draw 3 lines from A to D, B to E and F to C such that all of the lines pass from the center. This will form 6 equal (congruent) triangles.

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Part B:

Area of each triangle = 1/2 (Base)(Height)

Where Base = 12 in. and Height = 10.4 in.

Area = 1/2 (12) (10.4)

Area = 6 (10.4)

Area of each triangle = 62.4 in.²

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Part C:

Since the table is mage up of 6 equal triangles:

So,

Area of the table = 6 (Area of each triangle)

Area of the table = 6 (62.4)

Area of the table = 374.4 in.²

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
