Answer:
2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the area and the lengths of the two parallel sides of this trapezoid are given:
A = 7m^2, b1 = 3 m and b2 = 4 m. What's missing is the width of the trapezoid.
First we write out the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
b1 + b2
A = --------------- * w, where w represents the width of the figure.
2
We need to solve this for the width, w. Multiplying both sides of the above equation by
2
------------
b1 + b2
results in
2A
------------ = w
b1 + b2
Substituting 7 m^2 for A, 3 m for b1 and 4 m for b2 results in
2(7 m^2) 14 m^2
w = ------------------ = ---------------- = 2 m
(3 + 4) m 7 m
The missing dimension is the width of the figure. This width is 2 m.
The answer is 30. 5/10 is equal to 15/30
