Quandaries
and Queries
Pl. find the attached map.
1. Can u pl. find out the total square are of WLMZ
2. Can u pl .find out the total square are of WXYZ -- { A }
3. Can u pl .find out the total square are of XLMY -- { B }
Pl .help me to find out the above.
Pl. suggest me the formula's.
When I tried using Pythagoras theorem, I got XY as 38. Is it correct ?
But I am not getting Y perpendicular to WZ correctly.
pl,. help me.
Thanks,
Balachandar
Hi Balachandar,
There's not enough information -- we need to know if the lines WZ, XY, and ML are perpendicular to the line WL. If that is the case, Y would not be on the line ZM because parallel lines (WZ, XY, ML) would have to chop off equal segments ZY and YM. (Were the figure WZML a trapezoid then ZY = YM (which we could determine for you), and XY would have length (32 + 74)/2 = 53.
