<u>Answer-</u>

The value of x was found to be 7.

<u>Solution-</u>

In the given trapezium, the parallel sides are NO, MP and QR is the median.

From the geometric properties of trapezium, we know that,

The median line is always parallel to the bases and its length is the average length of the bases.

$\Rightarrow \frac{NO+MP}{2}=QR$

$\Rightarrow \frac{(3x-8)+(7x+4)}{2}=33$

$\Rightarrow 3x-8+7x+4=66$

$\Rightarrow 10x-4=66$

$\Rightarrow 10x=70$

$\Rightarrow x=7$

Therefore, the value of x is 7.

For what integer value of x is 3x+5>11 and x-3 <1?

Andre45 [30]

3x + 5 > 11
3x + (5 - 5) > 11 - 5
3x > 6
3x / 3 > 6 / 3
x > 2

x - 3 < 1
x (-3 + 3) < 1 + 3
x < 4

When subtracting / adding values to both sides, the inequality does not change.

When multiplying / dividing by a positive value, the inequality also doesn't change, but when multiplying , dividing with a negative value, the inequality must be flipped.

Use the figure below to answer the questions.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a. What is the name of the 3D shape?

The name of the 3D shape is Prism

b. What is the formula for total surface area for this shape?

Total surface area:

$S=2A_{b}+P_{b}h$

c. What is the surface area of the figure?

The surface area of the figure is 144 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the name of the 3D shape?

The 3D shape has two congruent and parallel faces (triangles) and the other faces are parallelograms, then the 3D shape is a prism

b. What is the formula for total surface area for this shape?

Total Surface area:

$S=2A_{b}+P_{b}h$

where:

Area of the base of the prism: Ab

Perimeter of the base: Pb

Height of the prism: h

c. What is the surface area of the figure?

The base of the prism is a triangle. Then to calculate the area of the base, we must use the formula to calculate the area of a triangle:

$A_{b}=\frac{bh}{2}\\ A_{b}=\frac{(4 cm)(3 cm)}{2}\\ A_{b}=\frac{12cm^{2} }{2}\\ A_{b}=6cm^{2}$

The perimeter of the base is the perimeter of the triangle, equal to the sum of the sides of the triangle:

$P_{b}=4cm+3cm+5cm\\ P_{b}=12cm$

h: Height of the prism is the distance between the bases of the prism (the triangle), then h=11 cm

Then, replacing in the formula the known values:

$S=2(6 cm^{2})+(12 cm)(11 cm)\\ S=12 cm^{2}+132 cm^{2}\\ S=144 cm^{2}$

Mark wants to improve his free throw percentage in basketball He has shot 1,250 free throws over the last 20 days. He shot eithe

Sedaia [141]

Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20

We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250

We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b. Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15

Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.
