Answer:

The height of the right trapezoid is   \frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the right trapezoid in units

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

P=AB+BC+CD+DH+HA

we have

P=6\ units

AB=BC=CH=HA=x ---> because is a square

substitute

6=x+x+CD+DH+x

6=3x+CD+DH -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle CDH</em>

sin(30\°)=\frac{CH}{CD}

sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}

so

Remember  that CH=x

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{CD}

CD=2x

tan(30\°)=\frac{CH}{DH}

tan(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

so

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{x}{DH}

DH=x\sqrt{3}

substitute the values in the equation A

6=3x+CD+DH -----> equation A

CD=2x

DH=x\sqrt{3}

6=3x+2x+x\sqrt{3}

6=5x+x\sqrt{3}

6=x[5+\sqrt{3}]

x=\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units

Is the square root of -11.2 a rational number?
Schach [20]
No, it is an imaginary number.
Can't take the square root of a negative number without creating a method termed an imaginary number, which is the square root of -1 which they have used " i " to signify.
Then square root of -11.2 would be written Sqrt(11.2)i.  The Sqrt(11.2) = 3.3466
so the answer is 3.3466i

A jet flies over the Air Force Base at 10:20 a.m. At 10:32 a.m., the plane passes over the Navy Base Station, 120 miles away. Ho
kati45 [8]
So first calculate the time between the plane flied over the Air Force Bases (AFB) and Navy Base Station (NBS):
(time passed Air Force Bases) - (time passed Air Force Bases) = 10:32 - 10:20 = 12 mins
Since we know the distance that plane travel from AFB to NBS is 120 miles and the plane traveled that distance within 12 minutes.
We have
120 miles / 12 minutes = 10 miles / minute
Calculate it into miles per hour (60 minutes):
10 miles/minute x 60 minutes = 600 miles per hour.
ANSWER : 600 mph

What is 12.496 rounded to a whole number. what is 2.90 rounded to a whole number
otez555 [7]
A whole number is a number that is whole as in 1,2,3,4,etc, they don’t have decimals. To find the whole number for these questions you must look at the places (hundreds, thousands, ten thousands.) I was always told a trick which is 4 or less let it rest, 5 or more let it sore. (Basically if it’s less than 4 then decrease it, if it’s higher than increase it.)

12.496 = 13
2.90 = 3

Your answers are 13 and 3.

Answer:

2 should be distributed as 2y + 16; y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to distribute 2, then:

Now we have to sum (-2y) in both sides of the equation:

Finally we have to divide both sides of the equation in 2:

Then the answer is 2 should be distributed as 2y + 16; y = 8

Hope this helps.
