Answer:

The lengths of the bases are 9 inches and 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of trapezoid is

=\frac12(\textrm{ sum of parallel sides})\times height

Given that the height of a trapezoid is 8 in. and its area is 96 in².

Assume the bases of the trapezoid be b₁ and b₂.

Since one base of the trapezoid 6 in. longer than the other.

Let, b₁=b₂+6

The area of the trapezoid is

=\frac 12 (b_1+b_2)\times8 in²

=\frac12 (b_2+6+b_2)\times 8 in²

=\frac12(2b_2+6)\times8 in²

According to the problem,

\frac12(2b_2+6)\times8 =96

\Rightarrow 2b_2+6=\frac{96\times 2}{8}                [ Multiplying \frac28 ]

\Rightarrow 2b_2+6=24

\Rightarrow 2b_2=24-6

\Rightarrow 2b_2=18

\Rightarrow b_2=\frac{18}{2}

\Rightarrow b_2=9

Then, b_1=b_2+6

              =9+6

             =15 in

The lengths of the bases are 9 inches and 15 inches.

The ratio of workers to supervisors and factories 32 to 2. The ratio of male workers to female workers is 6 to 5. If there are 8
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The number of supervisor in the factory is 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The ratio of workers to supervisors and factories 32 : 2

let the number of workers = 32 x

And The number of supervisors = 2 x

The ratio of male workers to female workers is 6:5

Let The number of male workers = 6 y

And The number of female worker = 5 y

The number of female workers at the plant = 80

So, 5 y = 80

∴  y = \frac{80}{5}

I.e y = 16

So, The number of male workers = 6 y = 6 × 16 = 96

Thus The Total number of worker in the factory =  The number of male workers + The number of female workers at the plant

Or, The Total number of worker in the factory = 96 + 80 = 146

Now , Again

∵ The ratio of workers to supervisors in factories 32 : 2

So, The number of workers = 32 x

I.e 146 = 32 x

∴ x = \frac{146}{32} = 4.5

So, The number of supervisors = 2 x = 2 × 4.5 = 9

Hence The number of supervisor in the factory is 9 . Answer
