10x454x0.55=2,497 grams of fruit
Divide the sale price by the original price:
56 / 89 = 0.7
Multiply by 100:
0.7 x 100 = 70%
The sale price is 70% of the original price, so the discount would be 30% (100-70= 30)
X = multiplication
h = height
r^2 = radius squared
Formula of a cylinder: Pi x r^2 x height
So, if 176 = 3.14... times 4^2 times h
Then, 176 = 3.14 times 16h
Next, 176 = 50.24h
Finally, 3.5 = h
You can then check your work by plugging 3.5 back in for the missing height and round to the nearest tenth. :) The answer should come out the same if done correctly.
Let h represent the height of the trapezoid, the perpendicular distance between AB and DC. Then the area of the trapezoid is
Area = (1/2)(AB + DC)·h
We are given a relationship between AB and DC, so we can write
Area = (1/2)(AB + AB/4)·h = (5/8)AB·h
The given dimensions let us determine the area of ∆BCE to be
Area ∆BCE = (1/2)(5 cm)(12 cm) = 30 cm²
The total area of the trapezoid is also the sum of the areas ...
Area = Area ∆BCE + Area ∆ABE + Area ∆DCE
Since AE = 1/3(AD), the perpendicular distance from E to AB will be h/3. The areas of the two smaller triangles can be computed as
Area ∆ABE = (1/2)(AB)·h/3 = (1/6)AB·h
Area ∆DCE = (1/2)(DC)·(2/3)h = (1/2)(AB/4)·(2/3)h = (1/12)AB·h
Putting all of the above into the equation for the total area of the trapezoid, we have
Area = (5/8)AB·h = 30 cm² + (1/6)AB·h + (1/12)AB·h
(5/8 -1/6 -1/12)AB·h = 30 cm²
AB·h = (30 cm²)/(3/8) = 80 cm²
Then the area of the trapezoid is
Area = (5/8)AB·h = (5/8)·80 cm² = 50 cm²
