What is the area of a wall that is 28' wide by 10' high at the sides and has a triangular gable that measures 7' high?

378 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Width of the wall = 28'

The Length of the wall = 10'

The Height of the gable = 7'

Now, the width of the gable will be equal to the width of the wall = 28'

therefore,

Area of the wall = Area of the rectangle section of wall + area of the gable

Total area of the wall = ( 28' × 10' ) + ( )

or

Total area of the wall = 280 + 98 = 378 ft²

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
