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

Truck brakes can fail if they get too hot. In some mountainous areas, ramps of loose gravel are constructed to stop runaway truc
pickupchik [31]

Kinetic engery = -1/2mv^2

Work = Fd

Combine:

-1/2mv^2 - Fd = 0

-1/2mv^2 = (0.30*15000*9.81*cos(6))d = 0

Multiply both sides by 2:

v^2 = 2d(0.30*9.81*cos(6))

Solve for d:

d=v^2 / 2(0.30*9.81*cos96))

v = speed:

d = 35^2 / 2*0.30 * 9.81 * cos(6)

d = 1225 / 5.85376

d = 209.27 meters. Round answer as needed.

The bar graph shows the number of school days Jalen had homework and did not have homework during the first six months of
Oksanka [162]

Given:

<u>In July:</u>

Number of days he has done the homework = 6

Number of days he has not done the homework = 4

<u>In August:</u>

Number of days he has done the homework = 16

Number of days he has not done the homework = 7

<u>In September:</u>

Number of days he has done the homework = 14

Number of days he has not done the homework = 4

<u>In October:</u>

Number of days he has done the homework = 14

Number of days he has not done the homework = 8

<u>In November:</u>

Number of days he has done the homework = 16

Number of days he has not done the homework = 4

<u>In December:</u>

Number of days he has done the homework = 5

Number of days he has not done the homework = 10

To find the months in which the difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework greater than 6.

Now,

<u>In July,</u>

The difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework = 6-4 = 2

<u>In August,</u>

The difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework = 16-7 = 9

<u>In September,</u>

The difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework = 14-4 = 10

<u>In October,</u>

The difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework = 14-8 = 6

<u>In November,</u>

The difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework = 16-4 = 12

<u>In December,</u>

The difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework = 10-5 = 5

Hence,

In 3 months the difference between the number of days with homework and with no homework greater than 6 and these are: August, September, November.

For the trapezoid ABCD E and F are the midpoints of
lawyer [7]

Answer:

EF=\frac{b+d}{2}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Trapezoid Mid-segment Theorem</em></u>. states that the length of the mid-segment is equal to the sum of the base lengths divided by two.

so

EF=\frac{BC+AD}{2}

we have

BC=b\ units\\AD=d\ units

substitute the given values

EF=\frac{b+d}{2}\ units
