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 bag holds 13 marbles. 6 are blue, 2 are green, and 5 are red. you select a marble from the bag. what is the probability that t
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ \frac{8}{13} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

P= \frac{favorable \ outcomes}{total \ outcomes}

For this problem, the favorable outcome is selecting a blue or green marble. There are 8 outcomes for this because there are 6 outcomes for blue and 2 fr green.

The total outcomes are all the marbles. Each marble could be an outcome, so there are 13 outcomes (1 for each marble).

P(blue \ or \ green) = \frac{8}{13}

This fraction cannot be reduced, so the probability of selecting a blue or green marble is <u>8/13.</u>

Solve for the x using elimination <br> 3x-2y=13x−2y=1 <br> 2x+2y=42x+2y=4
Nikitich [7]

3x - 2y = 1

2x + 2y = 4

Add the second equation to the first

5x     = 5

2x + 2y = 4

Divide the first equation by 5

x        = 1

2x + 2y = 4

Subtract the first equation from the second

x        = 1

x + 2y = 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

x        = 1

   2y = 2

Divide the second equation by 2

x        = 1

      y = 1

<h3>So, the solution is  x = 1  and  y = 1  {or: (1, 1)} </h3>

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

4.987 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube=  (where x= side)

x³

we know that

124=x³

∛124=x

x=4.986630952 which rounds to

4.987

The prisms and two nets shown below:<br><br> Plzzz answer part A B and C for BRILLIANT ANSWER
Arlecino [84]
Part A: Net A is correct
Net B is incorrect because de triangular sides do not close the opening left in both sides.

Part B: AB=3 in., BC=5in., CD=8.6in.

Part C: The surface area of the prism is the area of the the big rectangle in the net + the area of the 2 triangles

Area of the big rectangle
8.6• ( 3+4+5)= 103.2 in ^2
Area of the triangles
If we get the 2 trangles together along their longest side we get another rectangle
3•4 =12 in^2

Surface area of prism is 103.2+12=115.2 in^2
