- A.6.8
- B.7.1
- C.7.6
- D.7.8
- E.8.1
正确答案 · Correct Answer
C
解析 · Solution
解法1
常规解法 · 两种面积
矩形 10×8=80。挖去四个角的直角三角形(两个 6×5、两个 3×4)得平行四边形面积 。底 是 直角三角形的斜边 =5,故 5d=38,d=7.6。
巧解 · 底乘高=面积
平行四边形面积 38, 是其平行对边 HE=FG=5 之间的距离,故 。
Solution 1
Elementary · area two ways
The rectangle is 10×8=80. Removing the four corner right triangles (two 6×5 and two 3×4) leaves the parallelogram with area . Its base is the hypotenuse of a triangle, so FG=5, and 5d=38 gives d=7.6.
Slick · base × height = area
The parallelogram has area 38, and is the distance between the parallel sides HE=FG=5, so .
