I need help A square and a triangle have equal area. If the triangle has a height of 8 cm and a base of 9 cm, what is the perimeter of the square?

A:

72 cm

B:

6 cm

C:

24 cm

D:

18 cm

A 72cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height

= 1/2 × 8× 9 = 36cm2

area of triangle = area of square

36cm2 = 36cm2

area of square = length x breath

= x x x = 36cm3

square has all sides(4) equal

therefore: 36/ 2 = 18cm (one side)

(18 x 18= 36cm3, so area is correct)

hence perimeter = 18+ 18+18+18 = 72cm

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
