Answer:

28 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:    

Let w be width of desk.

We have been given that the bases of the trapezoid are 26.5 and 30 centimeters long. The area of the desk is 791 square centimeters long.

Since the area of trapezoid is half the sum of parallel sides times its height.

\text{Area of trapezoid}=\frac{h}{2}*(a+b), where

h= Height of trapezoid,

a and b= Length of parallel sides of trapezoid.

We have been given that the height of the trapezoid is the width of the desk.

Upon substituting our given vales in above formula we will get,

791=\frac{w}{2}*(26.5+30)

791=\frac{w}{2}*(56.5)

791=w*28.25

w=\frac{791}{28.25}

w=28

Therefore, the width of trapezoid is 28 centimeters.

What is the perimeter of rectangle with vertices located at (- 3, - 1), (5, - 1), (5, 9) and (- 3, 9) on the coordinate ?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

32 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the width and the length:

One side = √[(-1 - (-1)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2]

= √(0 +  64)

= 8.

The adjacent side = √(9-9)^2 + (-3-5)^2

= 8.

Perimeter - 4 *8 = 32 units^2.

the sudha and radha earns 5,670 and 3,360 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that

Sudha earns 189 in a day

And, radha earns 112 in a day

so in 30 days, sudha earns

= 189 × 30 days

= 5,670

And, radha earns

= 112 × 30 days

= 3,360

Therefore the sudha and radha earns 5,670 and 3,360 respectively
