Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
A trapezium is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) with one pair of parallel sides. A trapezium is said to be isosceles if the bases are parallel, the two other sides known as the legs are equal and diagonals of the trapezium are equal to each other.
In trapezoid ABCD, BC and AD are the diagonals.
Hence BC = AD (property of isosceles trapezoid)
9x + 1 = 12x - 11
Simplifying:
12x - 9x = 1 + 11
3x = 12
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 4
Data:
x: number of months
y: tree's height
Tipical grow: 0.22
Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)
In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.
m=0.22
To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):
Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:
B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:
C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:
