Answer:

The two parallel sides a and b are 17 cm and 23 cm respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium = {(a+b)/2} h

Where

h = height = 18 cm

a = parallel side 1 = x

b = parallel side 2 = x + 6

Area of a trapezium = {(a+b)/2} h

360 = {(x + x + 6) / 2} 18

360 = { (2x + 6) / 2} 18

360 = (2x + 6) 9

360 = 18x + 54

Subtract 54 from both sides

360 - 54 = 18x

306 = 18x

Divide both sides by 18

x = 306 / 18

= 17

x = 17 cm

a = parallel side 1 = x

x = 17 cm

b = parallel side 2 = x + 6

x + 6

= 17 + 6

= 23 cm

Solve for x : log(3x) + log(x + 4) = log(15).<br><br>Please explain it to me.​
zlopas [31]

Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

\sf \rightarrow log(3x) + log(x + 4) = log(15)

Rule: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)

\sf \rightarrow log(3x(x + 4)) =  log(15)

cancel out log on both sides

\sf \rightarrow 3x(x + 4) = 15

relocate constant variable

\sf \rightarrow 3x^2 + 12x -15 = 0

take 3 as a common factor

\sf \rightarrow 3(x^2 + 4x -5) = 0

divide both sides by 3

\sf \rightarrow x^2 + 4x -5 = 0

middle term split

\sf \rightarrow x^2 + 5x -x-5 = 0

factor common terms

\sf \rightarrow x(x  + 5) -1(x+5)= 0

collect into groups

\sf \rightarrow (x-1)(x+5)= 0

set to zero

\sf \rightarrow x-1 = 0 , \ x+5= 0

relocate variables

\sf \rightarrow x = 1,  \ x = -5

There must be a positive solution for log, so the solution is only x = 1
