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

Which statements about a square are always true?
arlik [135]

Answer:

All statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square, we have

all sides equal

all angles equal to 90 degrees

diagonals always bisect each other and at right angles.

Only square is the quadrilateral which satisfies all the above properties.

A parallelogram has diagonals which do not cut at right angles.

A rhombus has all sides equal but not all angles. Neither diagonals are equal in a rhombus.

Segment addition postulate<br> What’s the answer?
Free_Kalibri [48]

\bf Step-by-step~explanation:

Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.

\bf Step~1:

Let's see how the line segment looks like first.

Line segment VX is 14 units long.

             14

______________

V                         X

W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.

     3              ?

______________

V           W           X

\bf Step~2:

We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.

We have to set up our equation like this:

x + 3 = 14

Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.

14 - 3 = 11

   3               11

______________

V           W           X

\large\boxed {\bf Our~final~answer: ~WX=11}
