Answer:
- short base: 6 yards
- long base: 8 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Our understanding of your figure is shown below.
The question says the "shortest side" and the "width" have the same dimension. If the "width" is a reference to "height 6 yards", then it seems the "shortest side" is 6 yards. Since the slant sides are longer than the height, the "shortest side" is also the "short base."
The short base is 6 yards.
__
The long base overhangs the short base by 1 yard on either end, so it is a total of 2 yards longer than the short base. It it 6+2 = 8 yards long.
The long base is 8 yards.
I hope this helps you
2 (x+x+x+x+x+24+24)=120
4x+48=60
x=3
Area =2x.24
Area =2.3.24
Area =144
The original value was <span>£720.
720 x .15 (15%) = 108
720 + 108 = 828 </span>
96÷120 =0.8 ⇒0.8 ×100 =80 % :))
