Answer:

(a) The formula for the area A of a trapezoid

$A = \frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+ b_{2})h$

(b) Solve the formula for h

$h = \frac{2A}{b_{1}+b_{2}}$

The height h of the trapezoid is 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The formula for the area A of a trapezoid

As b₁, b₂ being the lengths of the bases and 'h' is the height.

So, the formula for the area A of a trapezoid

$A = \frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+ b_{2})h$

(b) Solve the formula for h

As the formula for the area A of a trapezoid is

$A = \frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+ b_{2})h$

So, formula for height h of trapezoid

$h = \frac{2A}{b_{1}+b_{2}}$

Using $h = \frac{2A}{b_{1}+b_{2}}$ to find the height h of the trapezoid.

So,

$h = \frac{2A}{b_{1}+b_{2}}$

$h = \frac{2(72)}{16+8}$ ∵b₁ = 16, b₂ = 8, A = 72cm²

$h = \frac{144}{24}$

$h = 6 cm$

So, h = 6 cm

Hence, The height h of the trapezoid will be 6 cm.

Two more than the quotient of a number and 6<br> is equal to 8

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Two more" = + 2

"quotient of a number and 6" = n/6

"equal to 8" = = 8

Set the equation:

n/6 + 2 = 8

Isolate the variable n. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 2 from both sides.

n/6 + 2 (-2) = 8 (-2)

n/6 = 8 - 2

n/6 = 6

Isolate the variable n. Multiply 6 to both sides.

(n/6)(6) = (6)(6)

n = 6 * 6

n = 36

36 is your answer.

What is the area of this figure?

Elanso [62]

First of all we can draw a parallel line to divide the figure into a triangle and a rectangle as shown in the figure. To find the area of our rectangle, remember that the area of a rectangle is length times width, so $A_{r} =lw$ . Since we know for our figure that the length and width of our rectangle are 13cm and 6cm respectively, lets replace those values in our formula to get its area:
$A _{r} =(13cm)(6cm)$
$A=78cm^{2}$
Similarly, the area of a triangle is one half times base times height, so $At=( \frac{1}{2})bh$ . Since we know that our base is 8cm and our height 6cm, lets replace those values in our equation to find the area of our triangle:
$A_{t} =( \frac{1}{2})(8cm)(6cm)$
$A_{t} =24cm^{2}$

Now the only thing left is add our areas:
$A_{total} =78cm^{2}+24cm^{2} =102cm^{2}$

We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>A. 102</span>
