<h2>Solution :</h2>

Area = 30 units²

Base = 5 units

Height = ? = Let it be -> x

Area (formula) = base×height = x×5 units= 30 units²

= x= 30/5 = 6 units

<h2>Thus , the height = 6 units</h2>

Find the length of the height of the right trapezoid shown below, if it has the greatest possible area and its perimeter is equa

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The height of the right trapezoid is $\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the right trapezoid in units

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+DH+HA$

we have

$P=6\ units$

$AB=BC=CH=HA=x$ ---> because is a square

substitute

$6=x+x+CD+DH+x$

$6=3x+CD+DH$ -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle CDH</em>

$sin(30\°)=\frac{CH}{CD}$

$sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}$

Remember that $CH=x$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{CD}$

$CD=2x$

$tan(30\°)=\frac{CH}{DH}$

$tan(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{x}{DH}$

$DH=x\sqrt{3}$

substitute the values in the equation A

$6=3x+CD+DH$ -----> equation A

$CD=2x$

$DH=x\sqrt{3}$

$6=3x+2x+x\sqrt{3}$

$6=5x+x\sqrt{3}$

$6=x[5+\sqrt{3}]$

$x=\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units$

ozzi

Carey earns c hourly
Anderson earns $6 hourly which is also 1+ c/2
So, 6=1+c/2
12=2+c
c=$10
Carey earns $10 hourly

Sam the scout is going on a camp out with his boy-scout troop. There are large tents that sleep 6 boys and small tents that slee

natita [175]

Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60
