The figure shows a parallelogram inside a rectangle outline: A parallelogram is shown within a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 3 over 4 foot and the width of the rectangle is 1 over 2 foot. The two equal bases of the triangles outside the parallelogram are labeled 1 over 8 foot. What is the area of the parallelogram? (1 point) 1 over 32 square foot 5 over 16 square foot 9 over 32 square foot 6 over 16 square foot

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

correct answer is c. just did it

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
