Find the height of a trapezoid if the bases have lengths of 6 and 17 and the area of the trapezoid is 46 square units.

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula

A = \frac{1}{2} h(a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the bases

here A = 46, a = 6 and b = 17, hence

46 = \frac{1}{2} h(6 + 17) ( multiply both sides by 2 )

92 = h(23) ← divide both sides by 23 )

h = \frac{92}{23} = 4 units

The triangle described is of the form SSA. Determine if there is no triangle possible, one triangle possible, or two triangles p
kvv77 [185]

Answer: The way to work this problem is to sketch the SSA-described triangle.

Horizontally, mark a ray stemming from point C, going to the right.

From point C, at an angle of elevation of 20 degrees, draw a segment a = 6.3, ending at point B.

Now, from point B, draw a segment perpendicular to the horizontal ray and label it h, for altitude.

Calculate h = 6.3 sin 20o = 2.1547.

Now imagine that, dangling from point B, you have a segment of length c = 9.3; in fact, put a compass with steel point at B and radius 9.3, and draw a big arc.  you'll see that it can intersect the horizontal ray only once; in its swing toward point C, due to c > a, there will be no second intersection of the ray (the arc 'overshoots' the ray).

Thus you see that only one solution exists, and the Law of Sines can be used to solve the triangle:

sin 20 / 9.3 = sin A / 6.3 and this leads to A = 13.4 degrees...and B = 180 - 20 - 13.4 = 146o.

I'll let you solve for b (side AC).

first, measures the triangle's angles. They are all 60 degrees. Then, measures the sides. Side 1 is 6 cm long. Side 2 is also 6
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of all angles of the triangle is given to be 60 degrees. This invariably means we are talking about an equilateral triangle as all angles of an equilateral triangle are equal.

Also all sides of an equilateral triangle is known to be equal. Therefore the measure of all sides of the concerned triangle are equal.

Given the measure of two length of sides are 6 cm respectively.

Therefore the length of side 3 is 6 cm, equal to the other two sides.

What is the volume of a right pyramid with base area B=8ft^2 and height h=12 ft
vivado [14]

Answer:

The volume would be 31 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, use the formula for the area of a right pyramid.

A = 1/3bh

A = 1/3(8)(12)

A = 1/3(96)

A = 32
