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.

Answer:

510

Step-by-step explanation:

divide into chunks. I divided it like how you would draw the equal sign.

for top chunk, 20*8=160

for 2nd chunk, 8*25=200

for the last chunk, 15*10=150

add up 160, 200, and 150

How much paint does Brielle need to finish her room
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Paint Needed = 1.25 gallons = It means 1 gallon and 1 quart of paint is needed to paint the Briellie's room.

Step-by-step explanation:

As, this question is incomplete, so we will create similar question and complete it. '

Let's suppose Brielle's room has following dimensions:

Length of two walls =  10 ft

Length of other two walls = 12 ft

Height of the room from bottom to ceiling = 10 ft

In order to calculate the amount of paint needed, we need to calculate the surface area of the room to be painted.

So, for that, add all the lengths together and multiply it by height of the room.

SF = (L1 +L2 +L3+ L4) x H

SF = (10 + 10 + 12 + 12) x (10)

SF = 440 sq.ft = Actual footage of the room to be painted.

Now, we have convert this number in gallons to know the amount of paint required to paint Brielle's room. For this, we need to divide our SF to 350 sq.ft per gallon.

Paint Needed = 440 sq.ft / 350 sq.ft per gallon

Paint Needed = 1.25 gallons = It means 1 gallon and 1 quart of paint is needed to paint the Briellie's room.

Solve for b, then solve for each angle in the triangle
lesya692 [45]

We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180, then,in this case we have the following equation:

b+2b+(b+16)=180

then, solving for b, we get:

\begin{gathered} b+2b+(b+16)=180 \\ \Rightarrow4b+16=180 \\ \Rightarrow4b=180-16=164 \\ \Rightarrow b=\frac{164}{4}=41 \\ b=41 \end{gathered}

now that we have that b = 41, we can find the measure of each angle:

\begin{gathered} b=41 \\ 2b=2(41)=82 \\ b+16=41+16=57 \end{gathered}
