The area for a trapezoid is given by the formula below, where a and b are the lengths of the two bases and h is the height of th

e trapezoid.
A = h ( a + b ) / 2

If the area of a trapezoid with base b measuring 8 feet is 16.5 square feet and base a measuring the same length as the height, then what is the height of the trapezoid?
A.
7 feet
B.
4 feet
C.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

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

Substitute the given values with h = a, then

16.5 = \frac{a(a+8)}{2} ( multiply both sides by 2 )

33 = a(a + 8) ← distribute

33 = a² + 8a ( subtract 33 from both sides )

0 = a² + 8a - 33 ← in standard form

0 = (a + 11)(a - 3) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for a

a + 11 = 0 ⇒ a = - 11

a - 3 = 0 ⇒ a = 3

However, a > 0 thus a = 3

Hence the height is 3 feet

Can someone help or explain the problem to me

Answer:

I think I explained the circle one before so I'll explain the left question because I wanted some points.

here,

area of circle is πr² which is given= 12 π cm²

so πr²= 12π

r= 2√3

d= 2r= 4√3

AB is diameter so AB= 4√3

Drag each tile to the correct box. Each tile shows an investor's tax bracket along with the tax-free yield of a bond the investo
shusha [124]

The tax bracket and tax-free yield will be (18%, 3%) < (32%, 3%) < (32% , 4%) < (22% , 5%) < (24% , 6%) .

<h3>Taxable equivalent yield based problem:</h3>

The taxable equivalent yield will be:

= Tax-free yield / (100 - Tax bracket)

Taxable equivalent yield =  3 / (100 - 18) = 0.03659

Taxable equivalent yield = 6 / (100 - 24) = 0.07895

Taxable equivalent yield = 3 / (100 - 32) = 0.04412

Taxable equivalent yield = 5 / (100 - 22) = 0.06410

Taxable equivalent yield = 4 / (100 - 32) = 0.05882
