The height or the distance between the two parallel sides of the given trapezium is 20 cm.

A trapezium or trapezoid is a two-dimensional geometric shape that has 4 sides, with one pair of parallel sides.

The parallel sides of a trapezium are called bases while the distance between them is the altitude or height.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is given by

A = (a + b)/2 x h

where a and b are the parallel bases and h is the height.

Using this formula, the height or the distance between the two parallel sides can be computed.

A = (a + b)/2 x h

120 cm^2 = (5 cm + 7 cm) / 2 x h

120 = (12 / 2) x h

120 = 6h

h = 120 / 6

h = 20 cm

bezimeni [28]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of pens
 y: number of pencils
 We now write the system of inequations:
 x + y  \leq  25

y  \geq  (x - 3) ^ 2

 The solution to the system of inequations is given by the shaded region.

3) Julian's shadow is 6 feet long. At the same time a 31 foot tall building casts a shadow that is 28 feet long. What proportion
SCORPION-xisa [38]

You are given the height of the building and the length of the shadow the building gives, so you can set that up as a proportion of Height of building over the length of the shadow so 31/28.

Now you can set the same proportion for Julian, using X for her height, so you would have x/6.


To solve for her height, set the two proportions equal and solve for x:

31/28 = x/6

Cross multiply:


31 * 6 = 28 *x

186 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:

x = 186 / 28

x = 6.64 feet tall

Approximately how much principal would need to be placed into an account earning 1.58% interest compounded monthly so that it ha
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The initial investment is $821.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value (FV)= $90,597

Number of periods (n)= 25*12= 300

Interest rate (i)= 1.58% = 0.0158

<u>To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following present value (PV) formula:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 90,597 / (1.0158^300)

PV= $821.58

The initial investment is $821.58
