OpenStudy (campbell_st):

what is the question..?

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

heres the work sheet. I need some help with it i dont get any type of grade for it at all but teacher told me to do it.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so which parts are the problems..?

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

ok um one second ill tell you

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... 11 and 12... express the corresponding sides in a ratio 1st shape : 2nd shape 11. 5 : 3 the ratio can't be simplified so its 5:3 or 5/3 tell me what you think about 12... 1st shape : 2nd shape

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

9:12 or else 3:4 or 3/4

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats it... well done ok... looking at 14 you need to find the angle size... so let the base angles of the isosceles triangle be x. |dw:1401433330129:dw|

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

oops thats 13.... not 14

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

its ok lol

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

x=36?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

great so the base angles are 36 and the angle at the top is 108 so use the trig formula for area of a triangle \[A = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times b \times \sin(C)\] in your question a = 14, b = 14 and C = 108 hope that helps

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

question 14 uses the same formula to find the area of the triangle a = 3, b = 4 and C = 52

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

10480? thats what my calculator got

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ummm \[A = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 14 \times \sin(108)\]
