Answer: If you sketch this out, you should be able to convince yourself that if you drew a line parallel to the bases and halfway between them, and a vertical at the end of that line, there would be an extra triangle on the longer base that would just fit into the space at the end of the shorter base, if you cut and pasted it.
You should also be able to convince yourself by what you know about similarity that the length of that parallel halfway line is just halfway between the lengths of the bases (you can add them and divide by two).
So your trapezoid (trapezium, we call ’em this side of the pond) has the same area as a rectangle with an altitude equal to the trapezoid’s and a width equal to the sum of those bases divided by two. And since you know about rectangles, you’re home and dry. I suggest you do the sketch, fill in the numbers, and then you’ve completed a model piece of homework that should earn full marks and the teacher’s approval.

4 and 59 hundredths so the 9 is in the hundredths.
Answer:
870
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle we are focusing on is 45 degrees and we are given vaules/variables for the opposite and adjecent of the triangle. This means we use tangent. The opposite of the triangle is 870 and the adjacent is the unknown (x). The equation then simplifies to
tan(45)=870/x
tan(45)x=870
870/tan(45)=x
if you plug this into the caluclator you get 870.
