First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:

Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x

If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:

120+10x = 150 + 4x   [starting equation]
-120  -4x    -120 -4x    [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]

<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u>     [divide both sides by 5]
 5      5

x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.

If x = 5 units, y = 6 units, and h = 6 units, find the area of the trapezoid shown above using decomposition. A. 102 square unit
Kitty [74]

Answer:

C. 66 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the middle rectangle would by base × height, or y × h, or 6 × 6.

The area is 36.

The area for one triangle would 1/2 × base × height.

(But since there are two triangles to solve for, the 1/2 is not necessary, and we can just do base × height again.)

So, it would be x × h, or 5 × 6.

The area is 30.

Combine both areas to get the whole area of 66 units²

Which statements are true?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

All Triangles are closed figure polygons that have three straight sides

Step-by-step explanation:

All 2D shapes are plane figures so this one is false. Three right angles are greater than 180 so this is fake. Polygon and closed figures are shapes with three or more closed sides. And triangles have straight sides.
