in trapezium abcd diagonals ac and bd intersect at o ar(COD) = 24cm² ar( AOB) = 96 cm² find the area of trapezium​

The area of the trapezium is 216 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the trapezium are;

The point of intersection of the diagonals ac and bd = point o

The area of ΔCOD = 24 cm²

The area of ΔAOB = 96 cm²

Let h represent the height of the trapezium and let x represent the height of triangle ΔCOD, we have;

The height of ΔAOB = h - x

Therefore;

The area of ΔCOD = (1/2) × The length of CD × x = 24

∴ The length of CD = 24/((1/2) × x) = 48/x

The area of ΔAOB = (1/2) × The length of AB × (h - x) = 96

The length of AB = 96/((1/2) × (h - x)) = 192/(h - x)

The area of the trapezium, A = ((48/x + 192/(h - x))/2) × h

We note that ΔCOD ~ ΔAOB, therefore;

(AB)²/(CD)² = (h - x)²/x² = (arΔAOB)/(arΔCOD) = 96/24 = 4

∴ √((h - x)²/x²) = (h - x)/x = √4 = 2

∴ h - x = 2·x

h = 2·x + x = 3·x

A = ((48/x + 192/(h - x))/2) × h

∴ A = ((48/x + 192/(2·x))/2) × 3·x = ((48 + 192/(2))/2) × 3 = 216

The area of the trapezium, A = 216 cm².

homozygous. one is homozygous, while two is heterozygous.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
