There is a common equation we use to find the Area of a trapezoid.
(a+b)h/2=A
Let's fill in what we know. We're not going to fill in any information about the bases.
(a+b)8/2=96
We can already tell that 8/2 will simplify to 4.
(a+b)4=96
Let's divide each side by 4.
a+b=24
Now, let's look at the information about the bases.
So, we will have this in terms of base a, since one base is longer than the other. This is how it'll look.
a +(a+6)=24
We can simplify that further.
2a+6=24
now subtract 6 from each side.
2a=18
Let's divide
9=a
So one side is 9, so the other one is 15. We should make sure everything makes sense by putting all the information in the formula to find area.
(9+15)8/2
24×4
96.
The lengths of the bases are 9 and 15 inches.

Helen [10]

Answer:

a) 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%

b) 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%

c) The first option - the theoretical and experimental values should become closer the more trials that are performed.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 4 of Tammy's 25 spins landed on black, so the experimental probability is 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%.

b) The spinner is split into 5 equal sections. Assuming it is fair, the chance of landing in any given section for a single spin is 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%.

c) The theoretical and experimental values should get closers the more trials you do.

For example, consider 1 coin flip vs 100. The theoretical probability of landing on a given side of a coin is 1/2, or 0.5, or 50%. With a single flip, your experimental probability will either be 0% or 100%, both off of the theoretical probability by 50%. After 100 flips however, the experimental and theoretical probabilities will be much closer to each other.

Help please. I did my best to find the answer but...
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

This a special right triangle with angle measures of 30° 60° 90°

The side length that sees angle measure 30° is represented with a, the one that sees 90° is represented by 2a and the one that sees 60° is represented by a√2

AC sees angle B which has an angle measure of 60

(6√2)×(√2) = 24
