Area for a trapezoid is A= a+b/2 times h (a and b are the bases which are 8 and 10

so 108=8+10/2 x h 8+10 divided by 2 equals 9 so now we have 108=9 x h

now we must divide both sides by 9 to solve for the height 108/9 equals 12 so the height of the trapezoid is 12

The area of the trapezoid is given by the formula A= (a+b)/ 2 * h

in this question a= 8, b= 10, A= 108 inches², and h is what we have to find, substitute what we have got into the formula and you will have:

108= (8+10) /2 *h

108= 9 *h

h= 108/9

h= 12 inches

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

y-6=-1/3(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-6)/(3-(-6))

m=-3/(3+6)

m=-3/9

simplify

m=-1/3

y-6=-1/3(x-(-6))

y-6=-1/3(x+6)

Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the points: ????=(0,0,1), ????=(−2,3,4), ????=(−2,2,0).

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane is <-9,-8,2>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given points are P=(0,0,1), Q=(−2,3,4), R=(−2,2,0).

$\overrightarrow {PQ}==$

$\overrightarrow {PR}==$

The nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the points P,Q, and R is

$\overrightarrow n=\overrightarrow {PQ}\times \overrightarrow {PR}$

$\overrightarrow n=\det \begin{pmatrix}i&j&k\\ \:\:\:\:\:-2&3&3\\ \:\:\:\:\:-2&2&-1\end{pmatrix}$

Expand along row 1.

$\overrightarrow n=i\det \begin{pmatrix}3&3\\ 2&-1\end{pmatrix}-j\det \begin{pmatrix}-2&3\\ -2&-1\end{pmatrix}+k\det \begin{pmatrix}-2&3\\ -2&2\end{pmatrix}$

$\overrightarrow n=i(-9)-j(8)+k(2)$

$\overrightarrow n=-9i-8j+2k$

$\overrightarrow n=$

Therefore, the nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane is <-9,-8,2>.

How do you find the lease common fatcor

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number. Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.

P(x) = x2 – 1 and q(x)=5(x-1), which expression is equivalent to (p – q)(x)?

Delicious77 [7]

P(x) - q(x) = x²-1 -5(x-1)
= x²-1-5x+5
=x²-5x+4

I Really Don't Get Ratio, Can I Have Some Help?

lutik1710 [3]

Example:
If I give u a ratio of the number of teachers to students is 2:1 would mean that for every 2 teachers there is 1 student.

In question 10(a) the ratio of grey to black is 3:1 which means that the percentage would be 33%

In 10 (B) the ratio would be 6:4
