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 )

The time taken to prepare the envelopes to mail a weekly report to all executives in a company has a normal distribution, with a
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Mailing preparation takes 38.29 min max time to prepare the mails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean:35 min

standard deviation:2 min

and 95%  confidence interval.

To Find:

In normal distribution mailing preparation time  taken less than.

i.eP(t<x)=?

Solution:

Here t -time and x -required time

mean time 35 min

5 % will not have true mean value . with 95 % confidence.

Question is asked as ,preparation takes less than  time means what is max time that preparation will take to prepare mails.

No mail take more time than that time .

by Z-score or by confidence interval is

Z=(X-mean)/standard deviation.

Z=1.96 at  95 % confidence interval.

1.96=(X-35)/2

3.92=(x-35)

X=38.29 min

or

Confidence interval =35±Z*standard deviation

=35±1.96*2

=35±3.92

=38.29 or 31.71 min

But we require the max time i.e 38.29 min

And by observation we can also conclude the max time from options as 38.29 min.

Convert the integral below to polar coordinates and evaluate the integral.
White raven [17]

I suppose the integral is

\displaystyle\int_0^5\int_y^{\sqrt{25-y^2}} xy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

The integration region corresponds to a sector of a cirlce with radius 5 subtended by a central angle of π/4 rad. We can capture this region in polar coordinates by the set

R=\left\{(r,\theta)\mid0\le r\le5,0\le\theta\le\dfrac\pi4\right\}

Then x=r\cos\theta, y=r\sin\theta, and \mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta. So the integral becomes

\displaystyle\iint_Rxy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^{\pi/4}\int_0^5r^3\sin\theta\cos\theta\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=\frac{625}{16}

A collection of 77 quarters and dimes is worth $12.50. How many quarters are in the collection? PLS HELP ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLEST
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

77 quarters and dimes

q + d = 77

subtract q from both sides

d = 77 - q

---------------------------

A collection of  quarters and dimes is worth $12.50 (1250 cents)

25q + 10d = 1250

substitute for d

25q + 10(77 - q) = 1250

distribute

25q + 770 - 10q = 1250

Combine like terms

15q + 770 = 1250

subtract 770 from both sides

15q = 480

divide both sides by 15

q = 32

What is the solution to the equation below? 6x=2x+24
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we combine like terms.

6x=2x+24

6x-2x=24

4x=24

Then we divide both sides by 4.

x=6
