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.
3 feet
D.
9 feet

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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set {1,2,3,4,5,6} has a total of 6! permutations

a. Of those 6! permutations, 5!=120 begin with 1. So first 120 numbers would contain 1 as the unit digit.

b. The next 120, including the 124th, would begin with  '2'  

 c. Then of the 5! numbers beginning with 2, there are 4!=24 including the 124th number, which have the second digit =1

d. Of these 4! permutations beginning with 21, there are 3!=6 including the 124th permutation which have third digit 3

e. Among these 3! permutations beginning with 213, there are 2 numbers with the fourth digit =4 (121th & 122th), 2 with fourth digit 5 (numbers 123 & 124) and 2 with fourth digit 6 (numbers 125 and 126).

Lastly, of the 2! permutations beginning with 2135, there is one with 5th digit 4 (number 123) and one with 5 digit 6 (number 124).

∴   The 124th number is 213564

Similarly reversing the above procedure we can determine the position of 321546 to be 267th on the list.

a contractor is building a new subdivision on the outside of a city. he has started work on the first street and is planning for
monitta

The equation of the location of the second street in standard form is

x + y = -6

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line represents the algebraic form of representing the set of points, which together form a line in a coordinate system.

The equation of the line can be formed with the help of the slope of the line and a point on the line.

The general form of the equation of a line with a slope m and passing through the point (x₁,y₁) is given as:

y = mx + b.

Where

m represents the slope of the line.

Given,

Point = ( -5 , -1)

Here we need to find the equation of the location.

For that, first we have to find the slope of the line,

Having two points in the format (x,y), the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

The equation of the street is parallel to the equation of the line in the graph, thus they have the same slope.

So, in street 1 the equation is

=> y =-x +1

And street 2 the equation is  

=> y =-x +b,  

solve for b by plugging in (-5,-1)

=> -1 =-(-5) +b

=> b= -1-5 = -6

=> b = -6

Now apply the value of b on the equation,

Then

=> y = -x -6

=> y + x = -6

So, the equation of the location is x + y = -6.

An angle cannot be the complement of one angle and the supplement of another angle at the same time. is this true or false?
soldi70 [24.7K]

An angle cannot be the complement of one angle and the supplement of another angle at the same time. Then the given statement is false.

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>

The angle is the distance between the intersecting lines or surfaces. The angle is also expressed in degrees. The angle is 360 degrees for one complete spin.

Supplementary angle - Two angles are said to be supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degrees.

Complementary angle - Two angles are said to be complementary angles if their sum is 90 degrees.

An angle cannot be the complement of one angle and the supplement of another angle at the same time.

Then the given statement is false.

More about the angled link is given below.

Answer:

2/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The only outcomes that lead to a sum of 3 are (2,1) and (1,2) therefore there is only a 2 in 36 chance of rolling a sum of 3
