Find the area of rectangle PLUM.

Area of rectangle PLUM = 75.00 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since diagonal of rectangle divides the rectangle into two equal triangles,

Therefore, area of the rectangle PLUM = 2× area of triangle PLM

By the mean proportional theorem,

In ΔPLM,

AP² = AM × AL

6² = AM × 8

AM =

AM = 4.5 units

Area of PLM =

                     =

                     =

                     = 12.5 × 3

                     = 37.5 units²

Now area of rectangle PLUM = 2×37.5 = 75 units²

Therefore, area of the rectangle is 75.00 square units.

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide
