In the isosceles trapezoid ABCD, draw two perpendiculars AM and BL from A and B to the side CD.

Now, LM = BA = 5 m

CD = CL + LM + MD

= CL + 5 + CL (CL = MD)

= 2CL + 5

But, CD = 11

Therefore, 2CL + 5 = 11

2CL = 11 - 5

= 6

CL = 6/2 = 3m

MD = 3m

Now, consider the right triangle AMD.

We have,

$AM^{2} = AD^{2} - MD^{2}$

= $4^{2} - 3^{2}$

= 16 - 9

= 7

Hence, height of the isosceles trapezoid = AM = $\sqrt{7} m$

Find one positive angle and one negative angle that are coterminal with the given angle. Explain.

Setler [38]

Answer: 10) 615° & -105°

12) -440° & 280°

Step-by-step explanation:

Coterminal means it is in the exact same spot on the Unit Circle but one or more rotations clockwise or counterclockwise.

Since one rotation = 360°, add or subtract that from the given angle until you get a positive or negative number.

10) 255° + 360° = 615° (this is a POSITIVE coterminal angle to 255°)

255° - 360° = -105° (this is a Negative coterminal angle to 255°)

12) -800° + 360° = -440° (this is a Negative coterminal angle to -800°)

-440° + 360° = -80° (this is a Negative coterminal angle to -800°)

-80° + 360° = 280° (this is a POSITIVE coterminal angle to -800°)

A rectangle has a height of c^3+6c^2+2c and a width of c^2+1

Basile [38]

Answer:

$A = c^5+6c^4+3c^3+6c^2+2c$

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a rectangle are length and breadth/width

Here we are given height . Assuming it to be one of the side of the rectangle , we will do the further calculation

Hence one side is

side 1 = $c^2+1$

And the other side is

Side 2 = $c^3+6c^2+2c$

The area of rectangle = side 1 x side 2

$A= (c^2+1) \times (c^3+6c^2+2c)$

Distributing parenthesis

$=c^2c^3+c^2\cdot \:6c^2+c^2\cdot \:2c+1\cdot \:c^3+1\cdot \:6c^2+1\cdot \:2c$

$=c^3c^2+6c^2c^2+2c^2c+1\cdot \:c^3+1\cdot \:6c^2+1\cdot \:2c$

$=c^5+6c^4+2c^3+c^3+6c^2+2c$

adding similar terms

$c^5+6c^4+3c^3+6c^2+2c$

Hence Area is given by the above polynomial
