Answer:

Side_2 = 17\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Trapezoid

Area = 243cm^2

Height = 18cm

Side_1 = 10cm

Required

Determine the length of the second parallel side

The area of a trapezoid is:

Area = \frac{1}{2}(Side_1 + Side_2) * Height

Substitute values for Area, Height and Side1

243 = \frac{1}{2}(10 + Side_2) * 18

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * 243 = 2 * \frac{1}{2}(10 + Side_2) * 18

486 = (10 + Side_2) * 18

Divide both sides by 18

27 = 10 + Side_2

Side_2 = 27 - 10

Side_2 = 17\ cm

Hence;

<em>The length of the second parallel side is 17cm</em>

A gas pump fills 2^-2 gallon of gasoline per second. how many gallons does the pump fill in one minute?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The gas pump filling the gallons in 1 minute will be: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given that a gas pump fills 2^-2 gallon of gasoline per second.

As there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

Thus,

Gas pump filling the gallons in 1 minute will be:

60\:\times 2^{-2}

=60\times \frac{1}{2^2}             ∵ a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\times \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\times \:b}{c}

=\frac{1\times \:60}{2^2}

=\frac{60}{2^2}

=\frac{2^2\times \:3\times \:5}{2^2}

=3\times \:5

=15 gallons in one minute

Therefore, the gas pump filling the gallons in 1 minute will be: 15
