1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to solve three questions based on the provided image:
1. Identify the quadrilateral and find its perimeter. The quadrilateral has sides of 6 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches, and an unknown length.
2. Find the area of the quadrilateral.
3. Find the area of the circle with a diameter of 14 cm, using $22/7$ for $\pi$.
2. Solution Steps
Question 18: Name the quadrilateral and find its perimeter.
The quadrilateral is a trapezoid because it has one pair of parallel sides. To find the perimeter, we need to determine the length of the fourth side. We can form a right triangle with the unknown side as the hypotenuse. The base of this right triangle is inches, and the height is 6 inches.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the unknown side:
inches
Approximate value for is inches.
The perimeter is the sum of all sides: inches.
Question 19: Find the area of the quadrilateral.
The quadrilateral is a trapezoid, so its area can be calculated using the formula:
where and are the lengths of the parallel sides (bases) and is the height.
square inches.
Question 20: Find the area of the circle. (use 22/7 for π)
The diameter of the circle is 14 cm, so the radius is half of that:
cm
The area of a circle is given by the formula:
Using :
square cm.
3. Final Answer
1
8. The quadrilateral is a trapezoid and its perimeter is $24 + 2\sqrt{10}$ inches.
1
9. The area of the quadrilateral is 54 square inches.
