The perimeter of the shaded region |
\(XZ+YZ\) |
A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
XYZ is an Isosceles Right Triangle with XZ = ZY
and DZEF is a Rectangle with DZ = EF = L (say) and EZ = DF = B (say)
In triangle XDF;
FD = XD = B
XF = \(\sqrt{2}\)B
In triangle YEF;
YE = EF = L
YF = \(\sqrt{2}\)L
Col. A: DZ + ZE + EF + FD
Col. B: XZ + YZ
Col. A: L + B + L + B
Col. B: (B + L) + (L + B)
Col. A: 2(L + B)
Col. B: 2(L + B)
Hence, option C
