(05.02)Mr. Morris is going to save money and replace his sailboat's mainsail himself. He must determine the area of the mainsail in order to buy the correct amount of material. Calculate the area of the parallelogram to determine how much material should be purchased. Be sure to explain how to decompose this shape into rectangles and triangles. Describe their dimensions and show your work.

✔️ VERFIED ANSWER✔️

First of all, you have to consider the geometric shapes you could use in order to represent the mainsail. A sail is typically represented in the way of a rhombus, which makes sense considering they are telling you that you have to decompose the shape into rectangles and triangles.

Such triangle can have the following dimensions:

Triangle (Dimensions)

Base = 4ft

Height = 15ft

On the other hand, the rectangle can have the following dimensions:

Rectangle (Dimensions)

15 ft x 20ft

To get the area of the mainsail, you need to add up the sum of the areas of each individual part.

how to obtain these areas

Rectangle: 15x20 = 300ft²

Triangle #1: 1/2(4*5) = 30ft²

Triangle #2: 1/2(4*5) = 30ft²

dont trust me im no expert these losers made me fail a test bro this sucks

step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
