Answer:
The area of the shape (trapezoid) is 55 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to get the area of a trapezoid is
. b1 is one of the bases, b2 is the other and h is the height.
First, you need to find the average of the bases:
(15+7=22)/2=11
Then, you multiply that by the height.
11*5=55
Lastly, you add the units.
55 square feet is the answer
Answer:
8 + 18+ 28+ 38+ 48= 140

Answer:
The individual has 36.09 pounds of body fat.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that an individual has a body fat percentage of 19.3% and weighs 187 pounds, to determine how many pounds of her weight is made up of fat the following calculation must be performed:
(187 x 19.3) / 100 = X
3.609.1 / 100 = X
36.091 = X
Therefore, the individual has 36.09 pounds of body fat.
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
5-2=3 so therefore y=3
Remember to work backwards and use opposite operations.
