Answer:

h = 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a trapezoid is

A = (1/2)(B + b)h where B is the bottom base, b is the top base, and h is the height.

We are given B = 16, b = 14, and A = 15, plug those values in and simplify

150 = (1/2)(16 + 14)(h)

150 = (1/2)(30)(h)

150 = (15)h (half of 30 is 15)

10 m = h (divide both sides by 15 to isolate h)

Find the missing length of the following trapezoid

Schach [20]

Answer:

1) The length of $DC$ is 20.

2) The length of $PS$ is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If $DR = RE$ and $CS = SB$ , then we can use the following proportionality ratio:

$\frac{DE}{DR} = \frac{32 - x}{26 - x}$ (1)

Where $x$ is the length of segment $\overline{CD}$ .

If $DE = 2\cdot DR$ , then the value of $x$ is:

$2 = \frac{32-x}{26-x}$

$52 - 2\cdot x = 32 - x$

$20 = x$

The length of $DC$ is 20.

2) If $QV = VP$ and $RW = WS$ , then we can use the following proportionality ratio:

$\frac{QP}{QV} = \frac{x-7}{12-7}$ (2)

Where $x$ is the length of segment $\overline{PS}$ .

If $QP = 2\cdot QV$ , then the value of $x$ is:

$2 = \frac{x-7}{5}$

$10 = x-7$

$x = 17$

The length of $PS$ is 17.
