In the figure shown above, lengths AB, BD, and CD are all units. Angles A and C are both 45°. What is the perimeter of ABCD? What is the area of ABCD? i am going to attach the figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 +6sqrt(2) is perimiter, 18 is area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fisrt find the high \[\sin45=h/3\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin45=\sqrt{2}/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do anothe way , this take to long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AD= \[(3\sqrt{2})^{2}+(3\sqrt{2})^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AD=(9*2)+(9*2)=36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried using the special right triangle 45-45-90. for the perimenter i got 6 sqart(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[p=( 36+3\sqrt{2})*2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area: Use special triangles to notice that they are right triangles, then b*h/2 = 3sqrt(2)*3sqrt(2)/2 for each, and there are two, so 18 Perimeter: 3sqrt(2) *sqrt(2) =6 for the top and bottom, then add em up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry square 36=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

base =6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tought the base is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes base =6 I forget after square36=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the area is 18sqt(2). is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you have the base you can solve for Perimeter and area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[P=(6+3\sqrt{2})*2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=(b*h)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=(3*6)/2 =9 2 triangle than (9*2)=18 A=18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u

P=20.49
