The length of other base of trapezoid is 10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of trapezoid is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(b_1+b_2)

We know that

A = 42 square miles

b_1 = 4 miles

h = 6 miles

Putting the values

42=\frac{6}{2}(4+b_2)\\42=3(4+b_2)\\42=12+3b_2\\Subtracting\ 12\ from\ both\ sides\\42-12=12+3b_2-12\\3b_2=30\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3b_2}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\b_2=10\ miles

The length of other base of trapezoid is 10 miles

Boris wants to buy new carpet for his living room floor. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 16 feet and its
Flura [38]
Use the are formula for a rectangle which is Length times Width to find the amount of square feet of carpeting.(16 times 14=224ft^2) Then you need multiply 224 by 12 because you have 224 square feet at $12 per square foot. So in the end it will cost $2688 to get the new carpet.

F(6,2) G(2,4)<br> Write equation in slope intercept form
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

y = -½x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept

.............................

Solving for m

...........................

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

y2 = 4, y1 = 2

x2 = 2, x1 = 6

m = (4-2)/2-6)

m = 2/(-4)

m = -½

.......................

Solving for b

.........................

Using point F(6,2) as reference

y = 2, x = 6, m = -½

if y = mx + b

Substituting 2 for y and 6 for x in the above equation

2 = -½ * 6 + b

2 = -3 + b

2 + 3 = b

5 = b

b = 5

OR

Using Point G(2,4) as reference

y = 4, x = 2, m = -½

if y = mx + b

Substituting 4 for y and 2 for x in the above equation

4 = -½*2 + b

4 = - 1 + b

4+1 = b

5 = b

b = 5

.............................................

Finally, we have to write the equation in slope form

Using y = mx + b

where m = -½ and b =5 ................ (Calculated)

y = -½x + 5

There are 20 players on a soccer team. From them, a captain and an alternate captain have to be chosen. How many possibilities a
tester [92]

Answer:

190 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is called 20 choose 2, given by the formula for combinations

C(20,2) = 20! / (2! (20-2)!) = 190

alternatively, we can reason it this way:

there are 20 choices to choose a captain and 19 choices for an alternate captain for a total of 380 ways.

However, there are 20 choices to choose an alternate captain and 19 choices for a captain for a total of 380 ways.

Since we are essentially double counting every choice of the posts, we need to divide 380 by 2 to get 190 ways.

winthrop has $4.40 worth of nickles and dimes. If winthrop has 3.5 times as many nickles as he has dimes, how many dimes does he
Aneli [31]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is number of nickles and d is number of dimes:

5n + 10d = 440

n = 3.5d

Substitute:

5(3.5)d + 10d = 440

17.5d + 10d = 440

27.5d = 440

d = 16
