Answer:

height = 4 meters

h = 2A / ( a +  b )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the area of the trapezoid, h, the height a, the length of one base and b, the length of the other base

Area of a trapezoid, A = ( a + b)* h / 2

Now let's slot in the given values

A= 18 sq meters

a = 3 meters

b = 6 meters

we have;

18 = ( 3 + 6 ) * h /2

18 = 9 * h /2

Cross multiply

18*2 = 9h

36 = 9h

divide both sides by the coefficient of h (9)

4 = h

therefore, h = 4 meters

To solve for h without substituting

From A = ( a + b )* h /2

cross multiply

2*A = ( a + b )* h

divide both sides by ( a + b )

2A / ( a + b ) = h

therefore,

h = 2A / ( a +  b )

Which products result in a perfect square trinomial? Check all that apply.
sladkih [1.3K]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

B=(xy + x)(xy + x) ; C=(2x – 3)(–3 + 2x) ; and E=(4y² + 25)(25 + 4y²)

Explanation:

In order to have a perfect square trinomial, we must multiply two binomials that are exactly the same.  For (xy+x)(xy+x), are multiplying two identical binomials.

For (2x-3)(-3+2x), we are multiplying two binomials that are the same but written in a different order.  The same is true of (4y² + 25)(25 + 4y²).

Calculate the unit rate:<br>write your answer as a decimal <br><br>1/2 mile in ever 1/3 hour​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

unit \: rate =  \frac{distance}{time}

unit rate is similar to speed / velocity:

unit \: rate =  \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} )}{ (\frac{1}{3})} \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \div  \frac{1}{3}  \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{3}{1}  \\  \\  = >  { \boxed{ \boxed{unit \: rate  =   \frac{3}{2}  \: miles \: per \: hour}}}

[<em>unit</em><em> </em><em>rate</em><em> </em><em>must</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>units</em><em> </em><em>including</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em><</em><em>time</em><em>></em><em> </em>]

Fine the sum of the series
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

6825

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation, the series is a geometric series, such that

a = 5

r = 4

n = 6

sum of a geometric series is a(r^n - 1)/(r - 1)

therefore,

sum of the series is 5 x (4^6 - 1) / (4 - 1)

= 5 x (4096 - 1) / 3

= 5 x 4095 / 3

= 6825
