Find the missing variable for a tralezoid. A=68^2 b= h=4 B=21

The answer is: " 2291 units " .
____________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________
Formula for "Area of a trapezoid" :
____________________________________________
Area = (1/2) * (base length 1 + base length 2) * height;

or: A = (1/2) * (b + B) * h.

We are missing the value for "b" one of the base lengths.

However, since: A = 68² (given) ; B (the other base length) = 21; and the perpendicular height, "h" = 4 ; we can plug this values into the formula, and solve for "b" ;
________________________________________________
A = (1/2) * (b + B) * h ; ↔ 68² = (1/2) * (b + 21) * 4 ;

↔ 4624 = 2 (b + 21) = 2b + 42 ;

 ↔ 4624 = 2b + 42 ;

 ↔ 2b + 42 = 4624 ;

Subtract "42" from each side of the equation:

 2b + 42 - 42 = 4624 - 42 ;

to get: 2b = 4582 ;
___________________________________________________
 Now, divide each side of the equation by: "2" ; to isolate "b" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b" ;
___________________________________________________
 2b / 2 = 4582 / 2 ;
___________________________________________________
to get: b = 2291 units.

The volume of a rectangular prism is b3 + 8b2 + 19b + 12 cubic units, and its height is b + 3 units. The area of the base of the

omeli [17]

Given:

The volume of the rectangular prism is

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12$ ,

the height is h=(b+3)

1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height

also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be $(mb^{2}+nb+k)$

2

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(mb^{2}+nb+k)*(b+3)$

notice that $b^{3}$ is the product of the largest 2 terms: $mb^{2}$ and b, so m must be 1

also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3

so k*3=12, this means k=4

3
we write the above equality again:

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(b^{2}+nb+4)*(b+3)$

$(b^{2}+nb+4)(b+3)= b^{3}+3 b^{2} +nb^{2}+3nb+4b+12$

= $= b^{3}+(n+3)b^{2}+(3n+4)b+12$

4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

$8 b^{2}=(n+3)b^{2}$

8=n+3

n=5

substituting n=5:

the base area is $b^{2}+5b+4$

Answer: $b^{2}+5b+4$

Maggie bought 45 oz of flour for her bakery. She used 17.5 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.71 oz for each muffin. How many muf

butalik [34]

Answer:

18 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of flour Maggie used

Total amount of flour she bought - Amount of flour left over.

= 45oz - 14.72 oz

= 30.28 oz of flour

She used 17.5 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.71 oz for each muffin.

Hence,

Let the number of muffins = x

17.5 + 0.71x = 30.28

0.71x = 30.28 - 17.5

0.71x = 12.78

x = 12.78/0.71

x = 18 muffins

Therefore, Maggie made 18 muffins

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists.

Galina-37 [17]

"A coordinate graph is shown with a downward sloped line crossing the y axis at the origin that ends at the open point 3, -1" → this is the left side of the graph, so the limit is -1.

Help I need to know how to solve for x

lara [203]

Answer:

the answer would be x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

the lines the have 1 line across it equal the same. same for the ones with 2. for example AB has one line across so it also equals CD because it has one line across (in the little octagonal shape). BC has two lines and so does AH so BC=AH
