An isosceles trapezoid has a perimeter of 49 miles. Its shorter base measures 12 miles and its longer base measures 23 miles. Th

The perimeter is 49 miles, which means that all the sides added up must equal 49. Let's write and equation with the information given, where x is the magnitude of the two sides:

23+12+2x=49

Simplify this a little bit to get x on one side:

35+2x=49

2x=14

Divide by 2 on both sides, and your answer is:

x = 7

Therefore, the length of the two sides of the trapezoid are both 7 miles.

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \huge \boxed{ \sf ?} = 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf Solve  \: for \: \boxed{ \sf ?} :  \\  \sf \implies \frac{\boxed{ \sf ?}}{5}  \times  \frac{10}{8}  = 1.5 \\  \\  \sf  \implies \frac{\boxed{ \sf ?} \times 10}{5 \times 8}  = 1.5 \\  \\  \sf \frac{10}{5}  =  \frac{ \cancel{5} \times 2}{ \cancel{5}}  = 2 :  \\  \sf \implies  \frac{ \boxed{ \sf 2} \times \boxed{ \sf ?} }{8}  = 1.5 \\  \\  \sf \frac{2}{8}  =  \frac{ \cancel{2}}{ \cancel{2}  \times 4}  =  \frac{1}{4}  :  \\  \sf \implies \frac{\boxed{ \sf ?}}{ \boxed{ \sf 4}}  = 1.5 \\  \\  \sf Multiply  \: both  \: sides \:  of \:  \frac{\boxed{ \sf ?}}{4}  = 1.5 \: by \: 4 :  \\  \sf \implies \frac{4 \times \boxed{ \sf ?}}{4}  = 4 \times 1.5 \\  \\  \sf \frac{4 \times \boxed{ \sf ?}}{4} =  \frac{ \cancel{4}}{ \cancel{4}}  \times \boxed{ \sf ?} = \boxed{ \sf ?} :  \\  \sf  \implies \boxed{\boxed{ \sf ?}} = 4 \times 1.5 \\  \\  \sf 4 \times 1.5 = 6 :  \\  \sf \implies \boxed{ \sf ?} = 6

There are four steps in the manufacturing process of a stuffed toy: cutting, stuffing, sealing, and packaging. There are two emp
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) 2min/15units

(b) 1min/20units

(c) The bottleneck stage is cutting. The process capacity is 450units/hour

(d) The capacity of the new employee should be 1unit/2sec. The process capacity will increase four times

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Cycle time for stage cutting for 2 employees = 16sec/2units × 1min/60sec = 2min/15units

(b) Cycle time for stage sealing for 1 employee = 3sec/1unit × 1min/60sec = 1min/20units

(c) Process capacity of stage cutting = 15units/2min × 60min/1hour = 450units/hour

(d) If the capacity of the new employee is 1unit/2sec, the process capacity = 1unit/2sec × 3600sec/1hour = 1800units/hour. The process capacity increases 4 times (1800/450 = 4)

Adam dropped a rubber ball from a window 40 ft above the sidewalk the ball always bounces half of the height that it drops how f
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The ball will reach a height of 5 ft by the 4th time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial height of the ball is 40 ft, when it bounces from the floor once the height will be 20 ft, the second time it'll be 10 ft, and so on. The sequence that can represent the maximum height of the ball after each bounce is:

{40, 20, 10,...}

This kind of sequence is called a geometric progression, in this kind of progression the next number is related to the one before it by the product of a constant called ratio, in this case 1/2. To calculate a specific position in this sequence we only need the ratio and the first number, using the formula below:

a_n = a*r^(n-1)

Where n is the position we want to know, a is the first number and r is the ratio. In this case we have:

a_4 = 40*(1/2)^(4-1) = 40*(1/2)^3 = 40/8 = 5

The ball will reach a height of 5 ft by the 4th time.

Please help me with this geometry problem, I'd really appreciate it :)

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 31


Discussion:

angle A + angle C + angle B = 180              (180 degrees in a triangle)

angle A + 57           +  61        = 180 =>         (substitution)

angle A + 118 = 180 =>

angle A = 180 -118 = 62


By the congruence statement, angle A = angle D = 2x so

62 = 2x =>

x = 31



Thank you,

MrB
