Missouri has a shape that is similar to a trapezoid with bases of about 198 miles and 276 miles and a height of about 270 miles.
What is the area of Missouri in square miles? Explain how you found the answer.
1 answer:
Answer:
63,990 mi²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the answer by using the formula for the area of a trapezoid and putting in the given numbers.
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h . . . . where b1, b2 are the base lengths; h is the height
A = (1/2)(198 mi +276 mi)(270 mi)
A = 63,990 mi²

We take as the 100% the 194070 miles from last year. Then, we apply a rule of three:

Since 329,919 is the 170% of last year's miles, then the increase was of 70%
Answer:
x=8 or x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
x²-16=6x
x²-6x-16=0
x²-8x+2x-16=0
x(x-8)+2(x-8)=0
(x-8)(x+2)=0
either,. or.
x-8=0 x+2=0
x=8 x=-2
