A trapezoid has bases that measure 10cm and 6cm. The height of the figure is 15cm. What is the area of the trapezoid?

Hello!

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation

$A = \frac{a+b}{2} h$

A is area
h is height
a and b are the bases

Put in the values we know

$A = \frac{10+6}{2} *15$

Add

$A = \frac{16}{2} *15$

Divide

$A = 8 * 15$

Multiply

A = 120

The answer is 120cm squared

Hope this helps!

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below 4x^2-6x+1

goblinko [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Just apply the quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b \left \ {{+} \atop {-}} \right. \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

Your equation is $4x^2-6x+1$
Every quadratic equation follows the general form $ax^2+bx+c$

In this case $a=4,b=-6,c=1$
Substitute into the quadratic formula:
$x=\frac{-(-6) \left \ {{+} \atop {-}} \right. \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(4)(1)} }{2(4)}\\x=\frac{6 \left \ {{+} \atop {-}} \right. \sqrt{36-16} }{8}\\x=\frac{6 \left \ {{+} \atop {-}} \right. \sqrt{20} }{8}$ Now take note that the square root of any number gives a (+) and (-) result, so two different answers
$x=\frac{6 + \sqrt{20} }{8} ,and\\x=\frac{6 - \sqrt{20} }{8}$ are the answers

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all the tiles will be used.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

(5x)² ≥ 46

x² + 5x ≤ 46

5x² > 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose number is x

<h3>1)</h3>

The square of the product of 5 and a number is not less than 46.

Step 1

Product of 5

5x

Step 2

Square of the product of 5

(5x)²

Step 3

A number is not less than 46

(5x)² ≥ 46

<h3>2)</h3>

The sum of square of a number and five times that number is no more than 46

Step 1

Square of a number

x²

Step 2

Five times that number

5x

Step 3

The sum

x² + 5x

Step 4

Is no more than 46

x² + 5x ≤ 46

<h3>3)</h3>

The product of 5 and the square of a number is greater than 46

Step 1

The square of a number

x²

Step 2

The product of 5

5x²

Step 3

Is greater than 46

5x² > 46

Simplify:<br><br> √27x^2y^2<br><br> A) 27xy<br> B) 3xy<br> C) 3xy√3<br> D) xy√27

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$\sqrt{27x^2y^2}=3xy\:\sqrt{3}$

Hence, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\sqrt{27x^2y^2}$

simplifying the expression

$\sqrt{27x^2y^2}=\sqrt{27}\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{y^2}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt{a^2}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$=\sqrt{27}x\sqrt{y^2}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt{a^2}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$=\sqrt{27}xy$

$=xy\sqrt{3^3}$

$=xy\sqrt{3^2\cdot \:\:3}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt{a^2}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$=3xy\:\sqrt{3}$

Therefore,

$\sqrt{27x^2y^2}=3xy\:\sqrt{3}$

Hence, option C is correct.
