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 )

A rectangular goat pen has an area of 40 square meters. Its perimeter is 26 meters. What are the dimensions of the pen?
xxMikexx [17]
Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

Complete the table of values for the equation, 16x + 4y = 12.
Ann [662]

The x-y coordinates for the given equation are: (-2,11),(-1,7),(0,3), (1,-1) and (2,-5).

<h3>Linear Function</h3>

A linear function can be represented by a line. The standard form for this equation is: ax+b , for example, y=2x+7. Where:

  • a= the slope;
  • b=the constant term that represents the y-intercept.

The given equation is 16x + 4y = 12. For solving this question, you should replace the given values of x  for finding the values of y.

Thus,

  • For x= -2,  the value of y will be:

       16*(-2)+4y=12

      -32+4y=12

      4y=12+32

     4y=44

      y=11

  • For x= -1,  the value of y will be:

         16*(-1)+4y=12

  • -16+4y=12
  • 4y=12+16
  • 4y=28
  • y=7
  • For x= 0,  the value of y will be:

         16*(0)+4y=12

  • 0+4y=12
  • 4y=12
  • 4y=12
  • y=3
  • For x= 1,  the value of y will be:

         16*(1)+4y=12

  • 16+4y=12
  • 4y=12-16
  • 4y=-4
  • y= -1
  • For x= 2,  the value of y will be:

         16*(2)+4y=12

  • 32+4y=12
  • 4y=12-32
  • 4y=-20
  • y= -5
