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

Is the relationship shown by the data linear? x -9, -5, -1, 3 y -2,-7,-12, -17
Temka [501]
                x               y
            ------           -----
              -9              -2
             -5               -7
             -1              -12
              3               -17

ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4

On a lunch counter, there are 3 oranges, 5 apples, and 2 bananas. If 3 pieces of fruit are selected, find the probability that 1
muminat

Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Oranges = 3

Apples = 5

Banana = 2

Total = 10

Required

Determine the probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

Since, order is not important:

Probability = P(Orange) * P(Apple) * P(Banana)

Probability = \frac{3}{10} * \frac{5}{9} * \frac{2}{8}

<em>The difference in the numerator is as a result of picking the fruit without replacement</em>

Probability = \frac{30}{720}

Probability = \frac{1}{24}

Are they unique more than one or no triangle
Tanya [424]
The measures of the angles of a triangle add to 180.

45 + 45 + 90 = 180
The measures of these three angles do add to 180, ,so there is at least one triangle with these angle measures.
Using AA triangle similarity, any triangle with the same angle measures will be similar.

From the figure you already see two triangles with angles 45-45-90. There is an infinite number of triangles with those angle measures.
