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

In a system of linear equations, the two equations have the same slope. Describe the possible solutions to the systems
belka [17]
If the two linear equations have the same slope (and the SAME y-intercept), the equations represent the same line. Since a line intersects with itself everywhere, there will be an infinite number of solutions (intersecting everywhere.)

A bicyclist rides 12 miles in 132 minutes. If she continues at this speed, how long will it take her to travel 66 miles?
natima [27]
(132 min)/(12 mi) = (t)/(66 mi)
t = (66 mi)*(132 min)/(12 mi) = 726 min

It will take the bicyclist 726 minutes to travel 66 miles.
