Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 72 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A trapezoid with given dimensions.

We have to find the area of trapezoid ABCD.

Consider the given trapezoid ABCD ,

AB = EF = 8 cm

and CE = FD = 4 cm

Then CD = CE + EF + FD = 4 + 8 + 4 = 16 cm

Thus, Area of trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2}\cdot \text{(Sum of parallel sides)} \cdot height$

here, height = 6 cm

and sum of parallel sides = AB + CD = 16 + 8 = 24 cm

Thus, Area of trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 24 \cdot 6$

Simplify, we have,

Area of trapezoid = 72 cm²

Thus, The area of trapezoid is 72 cm²

A bee flies at 15 ft./s directly into a flower bed from a time the beast stays at the flower bed for 12 minutes and then flies d

Zinaida [17]

A) The equation that we need to solve is:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

B) The distance to the hive is d = 2000ft.

<h3 /><h3>What equation can you use to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive?</h3>

We know that the bee's speed is 15 ft/s from the hive to the flower bed.

Then stays 12 minutes at the flower bed.

Then returns to the hive with a speed of 12ft/s.

The total time of the journey is 17 minutes, discounting the 12 minutes that the bee was in the flower bed, the travel only took 5 minutes.

Now, if the distance between the hive and the flower bed is d, t₁ as the time that the bee needs to go from the hive to the flower bed, and t₂ as the time in which the bee goes from the flower bed to the hive, we can write the system of equations:

t₂ + t₁ = 5min

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*t₂ = d

With that system of equations, we can find the value of d, which is what we want to get.

Isolating t₂ in the first equation we get:

t₂ = - t₁ + 5min

Now we can replace that in the third equation:

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*(- t₁ + 5min) = d

In the first equation we can isolate t₁:

t₁ = d/(15ft/s)

And replace that in the remaining equation:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 5min) = d

5 min = 5*60s = 300s

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

This is the equation we need to solve to find the value of d.

-(12/15)*d + 3600ft = d

3600ft = d + (12/15)*d = (1 + 12/15)*d = (27/15)*d

(15/27)*3600ft = d = 2000 ft

We conclude that the distance to the hive is 2000ft.

Is one side of a rectangular fish tank best represented by a point, line, plane, or ray?

Inessa05 [86]

<span>One side of a rectangular fish tank can be best represented by a plane because it is two dimensional.Whereas,point,line or a ray are all one dimensional and hence they cannot represent a rectangle as it has two dimensions.</span>

seven out of every 8 students surveyed owns a bike. The difference between the number of students who own a bike and those who d

guajiro [1.7K]

So if x people were surveyed, $\frac{7}{8}$ people owned a bike and $\frac{1}{8}$ did not.

The difference between them is 72:
$\frac{7}{8}$ x-\frac{1}{8} [/tex] =72
so this means that
$\frac{6}{8}$ x=72

let's simplify:

$\frac{3}{4}$ x=72

and divide by 3:

$\frac{1}{4}$ x=24

and mupliply by 4:

x=96

so 96 people were surveyed
