HOW DO I FIND THE AREA OF DEF?

169.7

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets find the other side of the small triangle

cos(30 degrees)=(7*sqrt (3))/x

x*cos(30 degrees)=7*sqrt (3)

x=(7*sqrt (3))/cos(30 degrees)

x=14

14/14=1

so proportion is 1/1

thus the bottom the outer part of the triangle is also 7*sqrt(3)

now, for the area

lets find the 2 side length of the triangle we need

DE: 14+14=28

DF: 7*sqrt(3)+7*sqrt(3)=14*sqrt(3)

let's find EF,

sin(30 degrees)=x/28

x/28=sin( 30 degrees)

x=28*sin( 30 degrees)

x=14

A=(14*sqrt(3))*14*0.5

A=(14*sqrt(3))*7

A= around 169.7

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
