Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the length of the shorter base and height. Then (3/2)s is the length of the longer base.

The area formula for a trapezoid is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  80 = (1/2)(s +3/2s)s = 5/4s²

  64 = s² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/5

  8 = s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The length of the shorter side is 8.

            <span> √3 - i = 2e^(5πi/6)

(2e^(5πi/6))^-10 = 2^-10 * e^(-25πi/3)

= 2^-10 * (cos(-25π/3) + isin(-25π/3))

= 2^-10* (1/2 - i(√3/2)) </span>

The first numbers is 7 more than the second. Their sum is 29. Find the answers
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

If the first number is x and y is the second number

x = 11

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the first number and y is the second number then:

x + 7 = y

The sum of the two numbers is expressed as:

x + y = 29

In order to find what the two numbers are, use what you know. According to the first equation, y equals the first number(x) plus 7, so you can substitute that for the y in the second equation

x + y = 29

x + (x + 7) = 29

2x + 7 = 29

2x + 7 - 7 = 29 - 7

2x/2 = 22/2

That means x equals 11

Now that x is known, you can find the value for y. The second number(y) is 7 more than than the first number(x) so that means x + 7 = y

11 + 7 = y

y = 18
