Prize of 6 botl= 40-y
prize of 1 botl will 40-y/6
if y=10
then prize of 1 bottle is 5
The formula for the area of a trapezium is as follows:
<span>area=<span>12</span>(a+b)h
</span>
Let a be the shorter base. Then a = h + 3.
Let b be the longer base. Then b = h + 7.
Substituting these values for a and b in the general formula gives:
<span>
area = 225 = <span>12</span>(h+3+h+7)h = <span>h^2</span>+5h</span>
So you need to solve the following quadratic:
<span><span>h^2</span>+5h−225=0</span>
Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=5, c=-225.
