You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Answer:
50M
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezium = 1/2 x ( a + b) x h
a and b are the parallel sides
h = height
300sqm = 0.5 x (10 + b) x 10
divide both sides by 10
30 = 0.5 x (10 + b)
Divide both sides by 0.5
60 = (10 + b)
b = 60 - 10 = 50
It is possible to have an isoceles triangle with on 80 degree angle because all sides to a triangle add to 180 degrees so if you minus 180-80=100. There is 3 sides to a triangle so half the 100 and you get 50 which means you get two of the same angles which are 50 degrees. That means that the question is possible and is isoceles.
