Answer:

  • 5 in
  • 11 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shorter base in inches. Then the longer base has length x+6. The area of the trapezoid is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the values we know, we have ...

  48 = (1/2)(x +(x+6))(6)

  16 = 2x +6 . . . . . divide by 3

  10 = 2x . . . . . . . . subtract 6

  5 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x+6) = 11 . . . . . . find the longer base

The lengths of the bases are 5 inches and 11 inches. We found them by solving an equation relating area to base length.

I need help with number 2 don’t understand it. someone help plz.
Sholpan [36]

I would say solve each diameter equation and order them fromleast to greatest, for example

1 Venus- 7.52×10 to the power of 3
So first simplify 10 to the power of 3 which is, 1000. Then you multiply 7.52 by 1000 which gets you 7520.

So solve each equation and order it
