The value of 'a' is 22 or 2, the equation of AD is (y = 0.5x + 17) or (y = 0.5x + 7) and the point D is (-8,13) or (-4,5) and this can be determine by using the point slope form.

Given :

The diagram shows a trapezium in which AD is parallel to BC and angle ADC = angle BCD = 90°.The points A, B, and C are (a, 18), (12, -2) and (2, -7) respectively.AB = 2 BC

a) To determine the value of 'a' use the relation (AB = 2 BC).

$\sqrt{(12-a)^2+(-2-18)^2}=2\times \sqrt{(2-12)^2+ (-7+2)^2}$

$\sqrt{(12-a)^2+400}=2\times \sqrt{125}$

Squaring both sides in the above expression.

$(12-a)^2+400=4\times 125$

144+a^2-24a=100

a^2-24a+44=0

a^2-22a-2a+44=0

a(a-22)-2(a-22) = 0

a = 2 or 22

b) The equation of BC is given by:

$\dfrac{y+2}{x-12}=\dfrac{-7+2}{2-12}$

2(y+2)=(x-12)

2y + 4 = x - 12

2y - x + 16 = 0

y = 0.5x - 8

Given that AD is parallel to BC so, the slope of 0.5.

First, take a = 2. The equation of line AD is given by:

y-18 =0.5(x-2)

Now, take a = 22. The equation of line AD is given by:

y-18 =0.5(x-22)

c) The line CD is perpendicular to line BC. So, the slope of line CD is -2. The equation of the line CD is given by:

y - (-7) = -2(x - 2)

y + 7 = -2x + 4

y + 2x + 3 = 0

d) The point D is given by:

0.5x + 17 = -2x - 3

2.5x = -20

x = -8

y = -4 + 17 = 13

0.5x + 7 = -2x - 3

x = -4

Now, y = - 2 + 7 = 5

e) Area of the trapezium is given by:

$\rm A = L_{CD} \times L_{AD}$

So, the possible area of the trapezium is:

$\dfrac{(5\times \sqrt{5} +5\times \sqrt{5} )}{2}\times 10 \times \sqrt{5} = 250$

$\dfrac{(5\times \sqrt{5} +13\times \sqrt{5} )}{2}\times 6 \times \sqrt{5} = 270$

Answer from: musa79

(a) a = 22 or 2

(b) The equations of AD are

y = x/2 + 7

y = x/2 + 17

(d) The coordinate of the point D is either (-8, 13) or (-4, 5)

(e) the possible areas are;

250 square units or 270 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

With only the details of the trapezium, without the drawing, we have as follows;

(a) The given points are;

A(a, 18), B(12, -2), and C(2, -7)

The length of BC is given from the formula for finding the length, l, of a line with the coordinates of the end points as follows;

$l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}$

$l_{BC} = \sqrt{\left ((-7)-(-2) \right )^{2}+\left ((2)-(12) \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{\left ((-5) \right )^{2}+\left (-(10) \right )^{2}} = 5\cdot \sqrt{5}$

∴ From $l_{AB} = l_{BC}$ , we have;

$l_{AB}$ = 2 × 5·√5 = 10·√5

Which gives;

$l_{AB} = \sqrt{\left ((18)-(-2) \right )^{2}+\left (a-12 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{\left 20 \right ^{2}+\left (a-12 \right )^{2}}= 10 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

20² + (a - 12)² = 500

(a - 12)² = 500 - 20² = 500 - 400 = 100

(a - 12)² = 100

a - 12 = ±√100 = ±10

a = 10 + 12 or -10 + 12

a = 22 or 2

(b) The equation of BC is given as follows;

The slope, m, of BC = (-7 -(-2)/(2 - 12) = -5/-10 = 1/2

The equation of BC is therefore;

y - (-7) = 1/2×(x - 2)

y + 7 = x/2 - 1

y = x/2 - 1 - 7 = x/2 - 8

y = x/2 - 8

Therefore, the slope of AD = m = 1/2

The equation of AD can be

y - 18 = 1/2×(x - 22)

y = x/2 -11 + 18 = x/2 + 7

y = x/2 + 7

y - 18 = 1/2×(x - 2)

y = x/2 -1+ 18 = x/2 + 17

y = x/2 + 17

CD is perpendicular to BC, therefore, the slope of CD = -1/m = -2

The equation of CD is therefore;

y - (-7) = -2×(x - 2)

y = -2·x + 4 - 7 = -2·x - 3

y = -2·x - 3

(d) The coordinate of the point D is found as follows;

At point D,

x/2 + 17=-2·x - 3

2.5·x = -20

x = -8

y = -8/2 + 17 = 13

x/2 + 7 =-2·x - 3

2.5·x = -10

x = -4

y = -4/2 + 7 = 5

The possible coordinates of the point D are (-8, 13) or (-4, 5)

(e) The area of the trapezium is found as follows;

The vertices points are;

(2, 18) or (22, 18), (12, -2), (2, -7) and (-8, 13) or (-4, 5)

The formula for the area of a trapezium = (a + b)/2×h

Length of a = $l_{BC}$ = 5·√5

h = $l_{CD} = \sqrt{\left ((13)-(-7) \right )^{2}+\left ((-8)-2 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{\left 20 \right ^{2}+10^{2}}= 10 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

$l_{CD} = \sqrt{\left ((5)-(-7) \right )^{2}+\left ((-4)-2 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{\left 12 \right ^{2}+6^{2}}= 6 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

b = $l_{AD} = \sqrt{\left (13-18 \right )^{2}+\left ((-8)-2 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{\left (-5 \right )^{2}+(-10)^{2}}= 5 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

$l_{AD} = \sqrt{\left (5-18 \right )^{2}+\left ((-4)-22 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{\left (-13 \right )^{2}+(-26)^{2}}= 13 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

Therefore, the possible areas are;

(5×√5 + 5×√5)/2 × 10×√5 = 250 square units

(5×√5 + 13×√5)/2 × 6×√5 = 270 square units
