a trapezoid with an area of 166.75 in has bases that measure 21 in and 8 in find the height of the trapezoid
2 answers:
The area of trapezoid is calculated as -
Area of trapezoid =
Here, a = base 1
b = base 2
Height is the height of trapezoid.
It is given that,
Area of trapezoid = 166.75 in
Base 1, a = 21 in
Base 2, b = 8 in
Area of trapezoid =
166.75 in =
Height = [tex] \frac{ 166.75 in}{14.5}
Height = 11.5 in
Thus, height of trapezoid = 11.5 In

notice the equations in slope-intercept form, the first one has a slope of -1, the second one has a slope of 1.
if the slopes are equal, and the constant is different, they lines are parallel.
if the slopes are equal, and the constant is the same the equations are exactly the same thing, and the lines are coincident, on slapped on top of the other.
if the slopes differ, like here, then they have a solution, where they intersect.
