Answer:

First option: 27 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where h is the height, B the larger base and b the smaller base.

Observe the figure of the trapezoid called ABCD. The length of the larger base (AB) is 12 units and the lenght of the smaller base (CD) is 6 units, but the height h is unknown, so you need to find it.

You can observe in the figure that two equal right triangles are formed, whose opposite side is the height "h". If you calculate the opposite side of one of those triangles, you will  obtain the height of the trapezoid.

For this, you can use the identity tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}.

Identify the opposite side, the adjacent side and the angle \alpha:

opposite=h\\adjacent=\frac{12units-6units}{2}=3units\\\alpha=45\°

Substitute and solve for the height h:

tan(45\°)=\frac{h}{3}\\(3)(tan(45\°)=h\\3units=h

Finally substitute into A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b):

A=\frac{3units}{2}(12units+6units)=27units^2

How to simplify 5 cubed
alex41 [277]

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to Solving the Problem

So let's say you have five friends who who are each going to pay you five dollars for the next five days. You can figure out how much money you will receive by calculating five cubed or five to the third power. This will tell us how much money you will get because you will multiply 5 by 5 by 5 or 5 cubed.

To start, you need to turn words into numbers by figuring out the base and exponent. An exponent is the number after the ^ which tells you how many times to multiply the base number by itself. The base number comes before the ^. When five is cubed, five is the base number which will show up before the ^.

Three is the exponent and will be the number after the ^. We know three is the exponent because of the word 'cubed,' which always represents the number three.

We can write out five cubed as:

5^3

Once the exponent and base are figured out, we need to write out the long version, which shows all the multiplication being done. In this case, the exponent of three tells us to multiply five by itself three times.

5 x 5 x 5

This shows us 5 friends multiplied by $5 multiplied by 5 days.

From here, multiply the numbers out to get the final answer. Multiply two numbers at a time to so you don't make a mistake.

5 x 5 = 25

25 x 5 = 125

Y does y=mx+b?????????????????????????????????????
erma4kov [3.2K]

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
