The area of trapezoids ABEC, ABFD, and $ABFC are 133, 140, and 161 square feet, respectively. Quadrilateral ABED is a rectangle. The length of segment DE is 8 feet. What is the length of segment CF

The area of trapezoids ABEC ABFD and ABFC are 133 140 and 161 square feet respectively Quadrilateral ABED is a rectangle The length of segment DE is 8 feet What class=

Respuesta :

The length of segment CF is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]A_{1}[/tex] = ABEC = 133

Let [tex]A_{2}[/tex]  = ABFD = 140

Let A = ABFC = 161

Let [tex]A_{rectangle}[/tex] = A = 8 AD

Let x = CF

[tex]A_{1}[/tex]+ [tex]A_{2}[/tex]  = A + [tex]A_{0}[/tex]

133  + 140 = 161 +  [tex]A_{0}[/tex]

[tex]A_{0}[/tex]  = 133 + 140 - 161

[tex]A_{0}[/tex]  = 122                              [tex]A_{0}[/tex]  = 8AD

8AD = 122

AD= [tex]\frac{122}{8}[/tex]

AD=14

A=[tex]\frac{(8+x)}{2}[/tex] × AD

161 =[tex]\frac{(8+x)}{2}[/tex] ×14

161 = (8 + x )×7

23 = 8 + x

x = 23 - 8

x= 15
