Sagot :
Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Area of a right triangle, (as any other triangle), is calculated as: [tex]A1=\frac{(base)(height)}{2}[/tex]
Area of a rectangle is calculated as: [tex]A2=(side)(side)[/tex]
Area of a right trapezoid is: [tex]A3=\frac{(a+b)h}{2}[/tex], where:
a is short base
b is long base
h is height
1) Expressing areas in terms of x:
Area of triangle S1:
[tex]S1=\frac{(2x-3)(4x-6)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]S1=4x^{2}-12x+9[/tex]
Area of rectangle S2:
[tex]S2 = (4x-6)(3x-2)[/tex]
[tex]S2=12x^{2}-26x+12[/tex]
Area of trapezoid S3:
[tex]S3=\frac{(2x+3+4x+1)(2x-3)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]S3=\frac{(6x+4)(2x-3)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]S3=6x^{2}-5x-6[/tex]
2) a) [tex]S=4x^{2}-12x+9+12x^{2}-26x+12-(6x^{2}-5x-6)[/tex]
[tex]S=4x^{2}-12x+9+12x^{2}-26x+12-6x^{2}+5x+6[/tex]
[tex]S=10x^{2}-33x+37[/tex]
Which is the same as S = (2x-3)(5x-9)
b) For the areas to be the same:
[tex]\frac{(3x-2+3x-2+2x-3)(4x-6)}{2}=\frac{(6x+4)(2x-3)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{(8x-7)(4x-6)}{2}=\frac{(6x+4)(2x-3)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]32x^{2}-48x-28x+42=12x^{2}+8x-18x-12[/tex]
[tex]20x^{2}-66x+54=0[/tex]
Using Bhaskara to solve the second degree equation:
[tex]\frac{66+\sqrt{(-66)^{2}-(4.20.54)} }{2(20)}[/tex]
[tex]x_{1}=\frac{66+6}{40}[/tex] = 1.8
[tex]x_{2}=\frac{66-6}{40}[/tex] = 1.5
For the areas of AFGC and ADEB to be equal, x has to be 1.5 or 1.8.
c) Expand a polynomial (or equation) is to multiply all the terms, remiving the parenthesis. Reduce a polynomial (or equation) is to combine terms alike,e.g.:
[tex]S=(2x-3)(5x-9)[/tex]
[tex]S=10x^{2}-18x-15x+27[/tex] (expand)
[tex]S=10x^{2}-33x+27[/tex] (reduce)
d) For area of AFCG to be bigger than area of ADEB by 27:
[tex]32x^{2}-48x-28x+42=12x^{2}+8x-18x-12+27[/tex]
[tex]32x^{2}-48x-28x+42=12x^{2}+8x-18x+15[/tex]
[tex]20x^{2}-66x+27=0[/tex]
Solving:
[tex]\frac{66+\sqrt{(-66)^{2}-(4.20.27)} }{2(20)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{66+46.86}{40}[/tex]
[tex]x_{1}=\frac{66+46.86}{40}=[/tex] 2.82
[tex]x_{2}=\frac{66-46.86}{40}[/tex] = 0.48
According to the enunciation, x cannot be less than 1.5, then, the value of x so that area AFGC exceeds the area ADEB by 27 is 2.82
