Using the given information, length of QR = 16.6 cm

The area of the trapezium is 304.5 cm²

<h3>Calculating area of a trapezium</h3>

From the question we are to calculate the length of QR and the area of trapezium PQRS

In the given diagram,

Let the midpoint of PS be T

Then, we can write that

|OP|² = |OT|² + |PT|² (<em>Pythagorean theorem</em>)

|OP| = radius = 13 cm

|PT| = 1/2 × PS = 1/2 × 24 cm = 12 cm

∴ 13² = |OT|² + 12²

169 = |OT|² + 144

|OT|² = 169 -144

|OT|² = 25

|OT| = √25

|OT| = 5 cm

Also, let the midpoint of QR be U

Then, we can write that

|OQ|² = |OU|² + |QU|² (<em>Pythagorean theorem</em>)

|OQ| = radius = 13 cm

From the given information,

The distance of QR from O is twice the distance of PS from O

∴ |OU| = 2 × |OT|= 2 × 5 cm = 10cm

Thus,

13² = ||² + 12²

169 = 10² + |QU|²

|QU|² = 169 -100

|QU|² = 69

|QU| = √69

|QU| = 8.3 cm

Now,

Length of QR = 2 × |QU| = 2 × 8.3 cm

Length of QR = 16.6 cm

Area of the trapezium = 1/2(|QR| + |PS|) × |TU|

Area of the trapezium = 1/2(16.6 + 24) × 15

NOTE: |TU| = |OT| + |OU|

Area of the trapezium = 1/2(40.6) × 15

Area of the trapezium = 20.3 × 15

Area of the trapezium = 304.5 cm²

Hence, the area of the trapezium is 304.5 cm²

-32>-5+9z Solve for x.

Darya [45]

Answer:

I do not know how it wants the answer, but it is -4.1 repeating.

I am guessing you meant solve for z too? If there are multiple choice I can help choose the right one.

Step-by-step explanation:

-32>5+9z

subtract 5 from both sides

-37>+9z

then divide 9 from both sides

-4.1111 repeating > z

The cost of 7 chairs and 2 tables is equal.If the cost of 6 chairs and 5 tables is 10575, find the cost of 12 chairs.

Igoryamba

Answer:

5400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a chair and y represent the cost of a table. We can use this to set up a system of equations:

7x=2y

6x+5y=10575

We can solve this system using substitution.

Start by rewriting the first equation in terms of x.

$7x=2y\\\text{Divide both sides by 7}\\x=\frac{2}{7}y$

Substitute this into the second equation:

$6(\frac{2}{7}y)+5y=10575\\\frac{12}{7}y+5y+10575\\\frac{12}{7}y+\frac{35}{7}y=10575\\\frac{47}{7}y=10575$

Multiply both sides by 7

$47y=74025$

Divide both sides by 47

$y=1575$

This means...

$7x=2(1575)\\7x=3150$

Divide both sides by 7

$x=450$

One chair costs 450. Now, multiply this number by 12 to find the cost of 12 chairs.

$450*12=5400$

12 chairs cost 5400.
