Answer:
1) The quotient of r and 0.2 is equal to 40.
2) r divided by 0.2 is equal to 40.
Answer: 13 ft
Step-by-step explanation: The bottom of the 14 foot ramp is equivalent to about 12.98 feet.
The area of a trapezoid is basically the average width times the altitude, or as a formula:
Area = h ·
b 1 + b 2
2
where
b1, b2 are the lengths of each base
h is the altitude (height)
Recall that the bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid. The altitude (or height) of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.
In the applet above, click on "freeze dimensions". As you drag any vertex, you will see that the trapezoid redraws itself keeping the height and bases constant. Notice how the area does not change in the displayed formula. The area depends only on the height and base lengths, so as you can see, there are many trapezoids with a given set of dimensions which all have the same area.
Once you graph the equation, you will notice that the lines are actually the exact same. If they’re the exact same your answer must be...
C. Infinitely Many
