Answer: 2.11cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm

The area of trapezoid is calculated using the formula:

1/2(a + b) × h

Where ;

a = Length of side 1

b = length of side 2

h = height

Take a = (2z + 3) and b = (6z – 1), h = z

Therefore ;

1/2 (2z + 3 + 6z - 1) × z

Opening the bracket

(z + 1.5 + 3z - 0.5) × z

(4z + 1 ) × z = 20cm^2

4z^2 + z = 20cm^2

Using Quadratic formula:

4z^2 + z - 20 = 0

a = 4, b = 1, c = - 20

(-b±√b^2 -4ac) / 2a

Z = 2.11 or - 2.364

z cannot be negative, therefore,

Z = 2.11 cm

Please help me with this. I think I understand it and know what it is but I just want someone to check it for me to see if I'm r

Ok, so
Length = L
Width = L + 7

Since area = length x width, then

30 = L × (L + 7)

Remember that L + 7 Is width so...

L + 7 = 30/L

So the expression for the width in terms of length would be...
w = 30/L - 7

Solve for x. 5(x – 10) = 30 – 15x
klio [65]
You can start by distributing the 5 to everything in the parenthesis.
5x-50=30-15x

Then get rid of your x values from one side, I chose to subtract 5x

-50 = 30 - 20x

Then subtract 30

-80=-20x
/-20
4=x

You can check by plugging your x into the equation to make sure it's right!
