The problem asks us to find the total area of two right triangles (A and B). We are given that the units are in meters. We need to find the area of each triangle and add them together. The first triangle has a base of 20 meters and a hypotenuse of 25 meters. The second triangle is similar to the first, so we can assume the dimensions are proportional.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the total area of two right triangles (A and B). We are given that the units are in meters. We need to find the area of each triangle and add them together. The first triangle has a base of 20 meters and a hypotenuse of 25 meters. The second triangle is similar to the first, so we can assume the dimensions are proportional.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's find the length of the missing side of Triangle B. Let this side be xx. Since it is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where aa and bb are the legs of the right triangle, and cc is the hypotenuse.
For triangle B, we have:
202+x2=25220^2 + x^2 = 25^2
400+x2=625400 + x^2 = 625
x2=625400x^2 = 625 - 400
x2=225x^2 = 225
x=225=15x = \sqrt{225} = 15
So, the missing side of Triangle B (the base of Triangle B) is 15 meters.
Now we can find the area of Triangle B. The area of a triangle is given by:
Area=(1/2)baseheightArea = (1/2) * base * height
AreaB=(1/2)1520Area_B = (1/2) * 15 * 20
AreaB=(1/2)300Area_B = (1/2) * 300
AreaB=150Area_B = 150 square meters.
Next, let's find the area of Triangle A. The height of Triangle A is 4 meters and the base is 3 meters, and the hypotenuse is 5 meters.
Area formula:
Area=(1/2)baseheightArea = (1/2) * base * height
AreaA=(1/2)34=(1/2)12Area_A = (1/2) * 3 * 4 = (1/2) * 12
AreaA=6Area_A = 6 square meters.
Finally, add the areas of the two triangles to get the total area:
TotalArea=AreaA+AreaBTotalArea = Area_A + Area_B
TotalArea=6+150=156TotalArea = 6 + 150 = 156 square meters.

3. Final Answer

Triangle A: 6 square meters
Triangle B: 150 square meters
Entire Object: 156 square meters
