Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, for triangles to similar two angles have to be the same, in this case, they both have 55 and 30 degrees), this makes the third angle the same. Triangles angles add up to 180 degrees and if you subtract 30 and 55 from 180..
180-30=150-55=95
95+30+55=180
Answer: 2.11cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm
The area of trapezoid is calculated using the formula:
1/2(a + b) × h
Where ;
a = Length of side 1
b = length of side 2
h = height
Take a = (2z + 3) and b = (6z – 1), h = z
Therefore ;
1/2 (2z + 3 + 6z - 1) × z
Opening the bracket
(z + 1.5 + 3z - 0.5) × z
(4z + 1 ) × z = 20cm^2
4z^2 + z = 20cm^2
Using Quadratic formula:
4z^2 + z - 20 = 0
a = 4, b = 1, c = - 20
(-b±√b^2 -4ac) / 2a
Z = 2.11 or - 2.364
z cannot be negative, therefore,
Z = 2.11 cm
