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.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

(8/9)x = 32

Solving for x

Multiply through by 9

(8/9)×9 ×x = 32×9

8x = 32×9

Divide through by 8

8x/8 = 32×9/8

x = 36

Click the photo to find the measure of each interior angle of the regular polygon
Scorpion4ik [409]
<h3>Answer:  120 degrees</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

n = number of sides = 6

i = measure of interior angle

i = 180(n-2)/n

i = 180(6-2)/6

i = 180(4)/6

i = 720/6

i = 120

Each interior angle of this regular hexagon is 120 degrees.

-----------------

Alternative Approach:

E = exterior angle

E = 360/n

E = 360/6

E = 60

Each exterior angle of this regular hexagon is 60 degrees

i+E = 180

i = 180-E

i = 180-60

i = 120

We get the same answer.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

There is just one simple rules for find other side

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about a triangle and this triangle has 3 side it must have 90° on one edge. We assume the longest side is hipotenus x²+y²=hipotenus² . Look at your question hipotenus is 15 lets try to find other side. X²+12²=15² x=9
