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.
Take the like terms on one side:
2m=6-14
2m = 8
m= 8/2
m= 4
Answer:
70% = 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction is given in the problem statement as 70%. It can be expressed as 7/10, 0.7, 0.70, and many other ways. Take your pick.
4 legged tables : x
3 legged stools : y
x + y = 20 y= 20 - x
4x + 3y = 68
Replace y by 20 - x so we only have one letter
4x + 3(20 - x) =68
4x + 60 - 3x =68
x + 60 = 68
x = 8
To find y replace x by 8
y = 20 - 8
y = 12
So you have 8 four legged chairs and 12 three legged stools.
Hope I helped!
