What is the area of an isosceles trapezoid, if the lengths of its bases are 16 cm and 30 cm and the diagonals are perpendicular

to each other?

Call the point of intersection of the diagonals point X.

Each base is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose sides are the diagonals and whose 90° angle is at X. The altitude of that triangle (⊥ distance to the base from X) is half the length of the hypotenuse. Then the height of the trapezoid is half the sum of the base lengths.

The area of the trapezoid is the product of the height and half the sum of the base lengths, hence is the square of half the sum of the base lengths.

... Area = ((16 cm +30 cm)/2)² = (23 cm)² = 529 cm²

What x what gives me 49 but when you add it it gives me 14

7 because 7 x 7 is 49 but if you add 7 and 7 it gets to 14 7 is the answer
so if you do a different number you will be wrong

the 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48 and the common ratio is 4. the 12th term is 192 and the 10th term is what?

Soloha48 [4]

<u>Given</u>:

The 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48.

The 12th term in the sequence is 192.

The common ratio is 4.

We need to determine the 10th term of the sequence.

<u>General term:</u>

The general term of the geometric sequence is given by

$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The 11th term is given is

$a_{11}=a(4)^{11-1}$

$48=a(4)^{10}$ ------- (1)

The 12th term is given by

$192=a(4)^{11}$ ------- (2)

<u>Value of a:</u>

The value of a can be determined by solving any one of the two equations.

Hence, let us solve the equation (1) to determine the value of a.

Thus, we have;

$48=a(1048576)$

Dividing both sides by 1048576, we get;

$\frac{3}{65536}=a$

Thus, the value of a is $\frac{3}{65536}$

<u>Value of the 10th term:</u>

The 10th term of the sequence can be determined by substituting the values a and the common ratio r in the general term $a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$ , we get;

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{10-1}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{9}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(262144)$

$a_{10}=\frac{786432}{65536}$

$a_{10}=12$

Thus, the 10th term of the sequence is 12.

Answer:

Find the complete table in attached file.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Incomplete table in attached file

Given:

A car travels 55 miles per hour for 2 hours.

So the speed of the car 55 miles per hour is constant for 2 hours.

Using speed formula.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

Second row.

From the second row of the table $time = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\ sec$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find only distance.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$55=\frac{distance}{0.5}$

$distance = 55\times 0.5$

$distance = 27.5\ mi$

Third row.

From the third row of the table $time =1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\ sec$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find only distance.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$55=\frac{distance}{1.5}$

$distance = 55\times 1.5$

$distance = 82.5\ mi$

Fourth row.

From the fourth row of the table $distance =110\ miles$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find time.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

$time=\frac{110}{55}$

$time = 2\ sec$

Therefore we complete the table from the above calculation.
