Answer:

D) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the median of the trapezoid. It is the line segment that connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides of the trapezoid.

The length of the median of a trapezoid is equal to 1/2 the sum of the bases; this makes ours

1/2(3.3+6.7) = 1/2(10) = 5

Answer: D. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure , we have give a trapezioid ABCD with parallel sides BC= 3.3 units and AD= 6.7 units.

Also, E and F appears as the mid points of non parallel sides AB and CD and parallel to the bases BC and AD.

⇒ EF would be the median of trapezioid ABCD.

Also, we know that , the length of the median of a trapezoid equals to one-half the sum of the lengths of the two bases.

i.e. length of EF = $\dfrac{1}{2}(AD+BC)$

i.e. length of EF = $\dfrac{1}{2}(6.7+3.3)$

i.e. length of EF = $\dfrac{1}{2}(10)$

i.e. length of EF = 5 units.

What is 68 percent of 575?

Travka [436]

Answer:

391

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must make the fraction a decimal so you can use it in an equation.

To do so move the . over to the left twice.

.68

Now multiply 575 by .68

575 x .68=391

Find the measure of unlabeled angle in the quadrilateral

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

x=140

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadralterial interior angles sum up to 360. We are given three angles and need to find the missing angle.

Let x, represent the missing angle.

$60 + 55 + 105 + x = 360$

$220 + x = 360$

$x = 140$

Find the slope of the graph of y=−45x−2.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The slope in this equation is $45$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: $y = mx + b$

m = slope

b = y-intercept

x = variable

$y = mx + b\\y = -45x -2$

flvs hope If $x^2+bx+16$ has at least one real root, find all possible values of $b$. Express your answer in interval notation.

Galina-37 [17]

If x^2+bx+16 has at least one real root, then the equation x^2+bx+16=0 has at least one solution. The discriminant of a quadratic equation is b^2-4ac and it determines the nature of the roots. If the discriminant is zero, there is exactly one distinct real root. If the discriminant is positive, there are exactly two roots. The discriminant of x^2+bx+16=0 is b^2-4(1)(16). The inequality here gives the values of b where the discriminant will be positive or zero:
 b^2-4(1)(16) ≥ 0
 b^2-64 ≥ 0
 (b+8)(b-8) ≥ 0
The answer is that all possible values of b are in the interval (-inf, -8]∪[8,inf) because those are the intervals where (b+8)(b-8) is positive.
