For this case we have:
 a = 30 cm
 c = 16 cm
 We look for the length of the diagonal:
 d = x + y
 Where,
 For x:
 a ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + x ^ 2
 x = a / root (2) = 30 / root (2) = 21.2132 cm
 For y:
 c ^ 2 = y ^ 2 + y ^ 2
 y = c / root (2) = 16 / root (2) = 11.3137 cm
 The diagonal is:
 d = x + y
 d = 21.2132 + 11.3137
 d = 32.5269 cm
 Then, the height is:
 h = h1 + h2
 For h1:
 h1 = root (x ^ 2 - (a / 2) ^ 2) = root ((21.2132) ^ 2 - (30/2) ^ 2)
 h1 = 15 cm
 For h2:
 h2 = root (y ^ 2 - (c / 2) ^ 2) = root ((11.3137) ^ 2 - (16/2) ^ 2)
 h2 = 8 cm
 Finally:
 h = h1 + h2
 h = 15 + 8
 h = 23 cm
 Then, the area is:
 A = (1/2) * (a + c) * (h)
 A = (1/2) * (30 + 16) * (23)
 A = 529 cm ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of an isosceles trapezoid is:
 
A = 529 cm ^ 2

How many years is tween 1844 to2015
STatiana [176]
To find the number of years between 1844 to 2015 you have to subtract.

Lets say that x is the # of years in between 1844 and 2015

Then we have:
\sf{2015 - 1844 =x}

After doing the subtraction using a calculator or a pencil and paper, you get that:

\huge{\boxed{\bf{x=171}}}

So 171 years have passed from 1844 to reach to 2015.

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the n th term ( explicit formula ) of a geometric sequence is

• a_{n} = a_{1}(r)^{n-1}

where r is the common ratio and a_{1} the first term

here r = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{16}{32} = \frac{1}{2} and a_{1} = 64, hence

a_{n} = 64(0.5)^{n-1} → D

Please help me!!!!!!
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 243, 729

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1, 3, 9, 27, 81    is a geometric sequence where r = 3

a₁ = 1

a₂ = 1 x 3 = 3

a₃ = 3 x 3 = 9

a₄ = 9 x 3 = 27

a₅ = 27 x 3 = 81

To find the next two terms, multiply the previous term by 3:

a₆ = 81 x 3 = 243

a₇ = 243 x 3 = 729
