The flower box is 5 ft long, and its ends are in the shape of a trapezoid. The upper and lower bases of the trapezoid measure 1
8 in. and 10 in., respectively, and the height is 9 in. Find the volume of the flower box.
1 answer:
Answer:
7560 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! The first thing that we must take into account to solve this problem is that the volume of any solid is equal to the transverse area by the height, in this case we must find the area of the trapezoid and then multiply it by the height
V=AL
V= Volume
A=area
L=height=9in
finding area of trapezoid
To know what each variable corresponds to, please see the attached file
finally multiply the area by the height of the box(9in)
V=AL
V=(840in^2)(9in)=7560in^3
the volume of the flower box is 7560 in^3

It's a parallelogram so if one angle is 90 degrees they all will be because of transverse angles and all that good stuff.
So we're given the diagonal of a rectangle and one side and we're asked to find the other. The diagonal of a rectangle is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are the sides of the rectangle. So this is a Pythagorean Theorem question in disguise:
Answer: 140 cm
I don't recall seeing this Pythagorean Triple before.
