Question 1 Elena, Lin, and Noah all found the area of Triangle Q to be 14 square units but
reasoned about it differently, as shown in the diagrams. Explain at least one student's
way of thinking and why his or her answer is correct.

For Lin's answer

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a triangle, you can flip it along a side and join that side with the original triangle, so in this case the triangle has been flipped along the longest side and that longest side is now common in both triangles. Now since these are the same triangle the area remains the same.

Now the two triangles form a quadrilateral, which we can prove is a parallelogram by finding out that the opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal since the two triangles are the same(congruent), and they are also parallel as the alternate interior angles of quadrilateral are the same. So the quadrilaral is a paralllelogram, therefore the area of a parallelogram is bh which id 7 * 4 = 7*2=28 sq units.

Since we already established that the triangles in the parallelogram are the same, therefore their areas are also the same, and that the area of the parallelogram is 28 sq units, we can say that A(Q)+A(Q)=28 sq units, therefore 2A(Q)=28 sq units, therefore A(Q)=14 sq units, where A(Q), is the area of triangle Q.

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

step-by-step explanation:

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse
