in hexagon ABCDEF,AB=ED=2 ,AF=CD=6 ,BC=EF=4 , and all the interior angles are equal. Find the area of hexagon ABCDE.

oh yea, isoceles triangles! median of hypotenuse = half of hyptenuse. i get it

I got 32. not sure, this seems incorrect

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with right angle at A. Suppose AX is an altitude of the triangle, AY is an angle bisector of the triangle, and  AZ is a median of the triangle, and angle XAY=13. If X  is on BY, then what is the measure of angle ZAC?

any input on second problem? i havent gotten much

#107 Re: Help Me ! » altituds » 2013-04-17 12:11:22

thx. can you answer these, i cant figure them out:

A square and an equilateral triangle have the same perimeter. Let A be the area of the circle circumscribed about the square and B  be the area of the circle circumscribed about the triangle. Find A/B .

Let M be the midpoint of side AB of triangle ABC. Angle bisector  AD of angle CAB and the perpendicular bisector of side AB meet at X . If AB=40  and MX=9 , then how far is X from line AC?(do this have anything to do with pythag?)

thanks!

in triangle RST, RS = 13. ST = 14, and RT  15. If M is midpoint of ST, what is M?

thanks. help on this?

a median of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle. The medians to the legs of a certain right triangle have lengths 13 and 19. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Find the length of the shortest altitude of a triangle with sides of lengths 10, 24, and 26.

#113 Re: Help Me ! » similar triangles? » 2013-04-01 04:19:35

yah i get it. you add some extra lengths to 5 and 8 and then you get similar triangles. i did not see that at first.

#114 Re: Help Me ! » similar triangles? » 2013-04-01 04:13:07

thanks! my teacher gives me hard hwk.

In ,

points X and Z are on AB and Y is on AC such that XY||BC and ZY||XC. If AZ=8 and , ZX=4 then what is XB ?

One interior angle of a triangle has a measure that is equal to the sum of the measures of the other two angles of the triangle. What is the measure of the smallest exterior angle of the triangle in degrees?

just started at geometry.

Two lines intersect such that the measure of each obtuse angle formed by the lines is three times the measure of each acute angle formed by the lines. What is the measure, in degrees, of an obtuse angle formed by the lines?
