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 biologist wants to know the width w of a river in order to properly set instruments for studying the pollutants in the water.
belka [17]

Answer:   The river is 148.3 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

The triangle formed is a right triangle.

Using SOH CAH TOA

tan 56 = \frac{x}{100}

Multiplying 100 in both sides

x = 100 \times tan56

x = 100 \times 1.4826

x = 148.26

Rounding to the one decimal place

x = 148.3

Hence river is 148.3 feet wide.   .............. Answer

Hope it will help :)
