Answer:

The area of the the trapezoid is 40.2cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

check the attached document for the assumed figure of the trapezoid.

First we use cosine rule to determine the angle at C or ∠BCD.

Applying the formula; c²=b²+d²-2bdCos C

9²=8²+7²-2(8)(7) Cos C

81=113-112 Cos C

-32= -112 Cos C

Cos C=32/112= 0.2857

C= Arc Cos 0.2857=73.398°

Next we find the height of the trapezoid /BE/.

And since BEC is a right angled triangle, we use trig ratios.

Sin C= opposite/hypotenuse

sin 73.398°= h/7

so that height= 7 sin 73.398°= 6.7cm

and for /EC/ ⇒Cos 73.398°=Adjacent/Hypotenuse=x/7

x=7 Cos 73.398 =2.0cm

x=/DF/=/EC/=2.0cm.

/AB/= /DC/ - (/DF/+/EC/)

/AB/=8 - (2+2) = <u>4cm</u>

Hence, Area of trapezoid ABCD=1/2(a+b)h

Area ABCD= 1/2(4+8)cm*6.7cm

Area ABCD= 40.2cm²

Determine whether the following equation defines y as a function of x.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The equation can define y as a function of x and it also can define x as a function of y.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a function if and only if each value in the domain is mapped into only one value in the range.

So, if we have:

f(x₀) = A

and, for the same input x₀:

f(x₀) = B

Then this is not a function, because it is mapping the element x₀ into two different outputs.

Now we want to see it:

x + y = 27

defines y as a function of x.

if we isolate y, we get:

y = f(x) = 27 - x

Now, this is a linear equation, so for each value of x we will find an unique correspondent value of y, so yes, this is a function.

Now we also want to check if:

x +  y = 27

defines x as a function of y.

So now we need to isolate x to get:

x = f(y) = 27 - y

Again, this is a linear equation, there are no values of y such that f(y) has two different values. Then this is a function.
