The length of longer base is 41 feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The area of trapezoid is given as:</u></em>

A = \frac{a+b}{2} \times h

Where , "a" and "b" is the length of base and "h" is the height

The length of one base of a trapezoid is 19 less than five times the length of the other base

a = 19 less than fives times b

a = 5b - 19

Height of 18 feet and an area of 477 ft squared

h = 18 feet

area = 477 square feet

<em><u>Substitute the values in above formula</u></em>

477=\frac{5 b-19+b}{2} \times 18\\\\477=(6b-19) \times 9\\\\477 = 54b-171\\\\54b = 648\\\\b=12

Therefore,

a = 5b - 19 = 5(12) - 19 = 41

Thus length of longer base is 41 feet

Hey friend please solve this question
Bas_tet [7]

yes and yes.

you're told ∠A=∠B. this means angle A and B are equal. so the value you get for cos A will be the same as the value you'll get for cos B

also, the value you get for tan A will be the same as the value you'll get for tan B


if that doesn't make sense you could also draw the triangle and solve for A and B.

you're told it's a right angled triangle meaning one of the angles = 90

you're told that C is that angle so if C is a right angle, angle C=90

the sum of all the angles in a triangle = 180

so angle A+ angle B + angle C = 180

angle A+ angle B + 90 = 180

angle A+ angle B = 180 - 90

angle A+ angle B = 90

  • A and B could be any value but you're told angle A = angle B

        angle A+ angle B = 90

        you can divide 90 by 2 because A and B are equal. that will give you 45 for A and 45 for B

or

  • angle A+ angle B = 90

        since angle A = angle B,

1. you can substitute angle A with angle B like this

  angle B+ angle B = 90

  2 angle B = 90

  angle B = 90/2

  angle B=45; ∴ angle A is also 45 ( because angle A= angle B)

2. or you could substitute angle B with angle A

   angle A+ angle A = 90

2 angle A = 90

  angle A = 90/2

  angle A =45; ∴ angle B is also 45 ( because angle A= angle B)


Now you know what A and B are,

sin A = sin 45; sin B = sin 45

sin 45 = sin 45

tan A = tan 45; tan B = tan 45

tan 45 = tan 45

If you know the 7x8=56 how can you use the Commutative Property of Multiplication to find the product of 8x7?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The communicative property for multiplication states that the order of the multiplicands and can be swapped and the resulting product stays the same.

So

A * B = B * A

So if

7*8=56

then the commutative property says

8*7=56 as well since you can swap the order of the terms on the left and not change the result.

This property is true for addition and multiplication. It does not hold for subtraction or division.

Hope that makes sense and helps. (:

I need help on this and a few more i have been busy lately
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

ok so we have to make it so we can get rid of one of the varibles by adding or subtracting

so lets multiply the first one by 4

120x+16y=4160

minus the second one so

108x=2160

divide by 108

x=20

then we just plug in

12(20)+16y=2000

240+16y=2000

-240

16y=1760

divide by 16

y=110

(20,110)

Hope This Helps!!!
