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.

a shopkeeper sold a certain number ( a two-digit number)of toys all priced at a certain value (also a two-digit number when expr
Makovka662 [10]

The answer is 91 toys sold, make the number ab where a is the 10th digit and b is the first digit. The value is 10a + b that can expressed as 10 (3) + 4 = 34

Let the price of each item: xy

10x + y

He accidentally reversed the digits to: 10b + a toys sold at 10y + x rupees per toy. To get use the formula, he sold 10a + b toys but thought he sold 10b + a toys. The number of toys that he thought he left over was 72 items more than the actual amount of toys left over. So he sold 72 more toys than he thought:

10a + b =10b + a +72

9a = 9b + 72

a = b + 8

The only numbers that could work are a = 9 and b = 1 since a and b each have to be 1 digit numbers. He reversed the digits and thought he sold 19 toys. So the actual number of toys sold was 10a + b = 10 (9) + 1 = 91 toys sold. By checking, he sold 91 – 19 = 72 toys more than the amount that he though the sold. As a result, the number of toys he thought he left over was 72 more than the actual amount left over as was stated in the question.

The graph shows a reflection in the x-axis. The matrix M such that, for any point (x, y), M(x, y) = (x', y') is
Rashid [163]

Answer:

This is a reflection about the x-axis.


Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection about the x-axis has the rule

[x,y]-> [x,-y].

Therefore

M[x,y] = [x,-y}

Let M=

|a  b|

|c  d|

Then the matrix multiplication gives

ax+by=x.............(1)

cx+dy=-y............(2)

Solving the previous equations (1) and (2) gives

a=1, b=0

c=0, d=-1

giving M as

|1  0|

|0 -1|

Simora [160]

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinate plane is a two-dimension surface formed by two number lines. One number line is horizontal and is called the x-axis. The other number line is vertical number line and is called the y-axis. The two axes meet at a point called the origin. We can use the coordinate plane to graph points, lines
