Answer:
39 sq cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok. Since ΔAED is isosceles, then the height of the trapezoid is 3 cm
One base is 16 and the other base is 16 - 3 - 3 = 10.
A = 1/2 h(
+ 
) where and are lengths of the bases
A = 1/2(3)(10 + 16)
= 1/2(3)(26)
= 39 sq cm
A would be the correct answer! because x represents the number of miles (charged at .8) and 5.40 is a flat rate
Perpendicular bisector theorem
Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
