The length of the longer base is 41 ft.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Lets assume, length of one base is x ft.

As, another base is 19 less than five times the length of this base, so the length of another base = (5x- 19) ft.

The trapezoid has a height of 18 ft and area of 477 ft²

Formula for Area of trapezoid, A=\frac{1}{2} (a+b)*h , where a, b = Two bases of trapezoid and h = height of the trapezoid.

Given in the question: A= 477 and h= 18

We have also two bases as: a= x and b= 5x-19

So, according to the above formula...

A= \frac{1}{2}(a+b)h\\\\ 477=\frac{1}{2}(x+5x-19)*18\\\\ 477=9(6x-19)\\\\477= 54x-171\\\\477+171=54x\\\\648=54x\\\\x=\frac{648}{54} = 12

So, length of one base is 12 ft  and another base =(5*12-19)ft =(60-19)ft = 41 ft

That means, the length of the longer base is 41 ft.

Molly, a purchasing agent for a high-tech firm, is ordering computers for a new branch office. Laptops cost $540 apiece and desk
NISA [10]

Answer:

540x+680y<=20000

Step-by-step explanation:

x will be the number of laptops. Since they are $540 each, 540x is the amount spent on laptops, depending on how many (x) are purchased.

y will be the number if desktops. Since they are $680 each, 680y is the amount spent on desktops, depending on how many (y) are purchased.

Adding all the money spent on laptops and desktops, we get

540x + 680y. This amount must be less than the $20000. It can be exactly $20000 also. But it cannot be more than $20000.

540x+680y<=20000
