Answer:

3 inches and 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2)*h  where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases

b1 =b

b2 =b1+6  = b+6

h =6

A = 36

Substituting in what we know

36 = 1/2 (b+b+6)*6

Simplifying

36 = 3 (2b+6)

36/3 = 3/3 (2b+6)

Divide each side by 3

12 = 2b+6

Subtract 6 from each side

12-6 =2b+6-6

6 =2b

Divide each side by2

6/2 =2b/2

3=b

b1 =b =3

b2 =b1+6  = b+6 = 3+6 =9

One base is 3 and the other is 9

How do you solve this ???
coldgirl [10]
Since lines a and c are parallel and we are given that c is perpendicular to b, we can infer that b is also perpendicular to a.

So, a and b are perpendicular, the angle formed by these lines should be 90.

Hence, angle 2 is 90.

Hope this helps :)

PLEASE HELP ME FRIENDS ​

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two given expressions are alternate interior angles ( as a result of the parallel line, which are indicated by the arrows on the two lines going through the middle line, the transversal) you can set them equal to each other.

5x-10 = 3x+10

add 10 on both sides

5x = 3x + 20

subtract 3x on both sides

2x=20

divide by 2 on both sides

x=10
