Approximately 40.6 ft^2 so you round it to 41 ft^2.
So the answer is C.
Hope I am right! :)

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

41 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar states that two polygons are similar when their corresponding sides  are in same proportion.

In a similar trapezoid, the area is proportional to the square of the side length.

As per the given statement:

Both trapezoids are similar.

The area of the smaller trapezoid is 26 square ft.

From the given figure:

Side of smaller trapezoid(a) = 16 ft

Side of larger trapezoid(b) = 20 ft

Let x be the  the area of the larger trapezoid

By definition:

\frac{\text{Area of smaller trapezoid}}{\text{Area of larger trapezoid}} = \frac{a^2}{b^2}

then;

\frac{26}{x} = \frac{16^2}{20^2}

⇒\frac{26}{x} = \frac{256}{400}

By cross multiply we have;

10400 = 256x

Divide both sides by 256 we have;

40.625 = x

or

x ≈ 41 square ft

Therefore, the best approximation for the area of the larger trapezoid is, 41 ft^2

A slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular prism as shown.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The correct option is 1. The area of cross section area is 48 mm².

Step-by-step explanation:

From the find it is noticed that the cross section is a rectangle with length 4 mm and width is 12 mm.

The area of a rectangle is the product of its dimensions.

A=l\times w

Where, l is length of the rectangle and w is width of the rectangle.

The area of cross section is

A=4\times 12

A=48

Therefore the area of cross section area is 48 mm². Option 1 is correct.

deff fn [24]

Answer: a) H = h( 0.5 )^n

b) H = 1.125inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H = height of the ball

n = number of time the ball bounces

h = initial height.

The exponential function to model the height of the ball will be:

H = h( 1 - 0.5)^n

H = h( 0.5 )^n

It's minus because the height of the ball is decreasing.

h = 36 inches

n = 5

H = 36( 1 - 0.5 ) ^5

H = 36( 0.5 )^5

H = 36 × 0.03125

H = 1.125inches

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pounds of banana needed = 5 pounds

Cost per pound of banana = 0.50

To solve using place value blocks :

Ignoring the decimal in the cost per pound:

We can first take the product of 5 (Number of pounds of banana) and take cost per pound as 5. Since it is easier to make direct multiplication without decimal.

5 * 5 = $25

Now we can add the one decimal point (in the cost per pound) to our result

Then we have $2.5

Hence, total cost = $2.5
