7 0

A simple answer is that any given trapezoid with height h and length of the parallel lines a and b, is half of a parallelogram with an area of (a+b) x h. Since the trapezoid is half of this, it is h(a+b)/2

Item 2
Inessa05 [86]

The question is an illustration of a division model.

The boxes will be completed with: 1650, 231, 50 and 7

The expression is represented as:

\mathbf{1881 \div 33}

Express 1881 as 1650 + 231.

\mathbf{1881 \div 33 = (1650 + 231) \div 33}

Split

\mathbf{1881 \div 33 = 1650 \div 33 + 231 \div 33}

Evaluate each division

\mathbf{1881 \div 33 = 50 + 7}

\mathbf{1881 \div 33 = 57}

The above illustration means that, the boxes will be completed with the following numbers

  • 1650
  • 231
  • 50
  • 7

See attachment for proper illustration

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

radius = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle centred at the origin is

x² + y² = r² ←r is the radius

x² + y² = 36 ← is in this form

with r² = 36 ⇒ r = \sqrt{36} = 6

Determine if the statement is always, sometimes or never true. There are 300 degrees in the sum of the interior angles of a poly
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Never

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula to find the sum of the interior angles, (n-2) * 180, we can work backwards.

300/180 +2 = 11/3 or 3.666. Polygons cannot have decimal sides therefore your answer is never.
