a trapezoid with an area of 166.75 in has bases that measure 21in and 8 in find the height of the trapezoid
1 answer:
Answer:
height = 11.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula
A = h(a + b)
where h is the height and a, b the bases
here a = 21, b = 8 and A = 166.75, hence
h(21 + 8) = 166.75
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction
29h = 333.5 ( divide both sides by 29 )
h = 11.5 in

Answer:
Dot plot
Step-by-step explanation:
In a dot plot, the temperature of a day is represented by 1 dot. There are 30 dots on the box plot shown in the attachment that was made by Tia.
This dot plot display makes it easier to find how many days had a temperature that is higher than 15°.
Thus, from the dot plot, we have:
2 dots representing 2 days having a temperature of 16°C each
2 days also have daily temperature of 17°C
2 days have temperature of 18°C as well, and
1 day has temperature of 19° C.
Therefore, the number of days that had a temperature above 15°C is 7 days.
