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

Find the exact value of tan A in simplest radical form.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

tan(A) = \frac{2\sqrt{15}}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Right ∆ABC

AB = 61

BC = 60

AC = 11

Required:

Value of tan A in radical form

SOLUTION:

tan(A) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Opposite = 60

Adjacent = 11

tan(A) = \frac{60}{11}

tan(A) = \frac{\sqrt{4*15}}{11}

tan(A) = \frac{2\sqrt{15}}{11}

Find the slope of the line passing through (-7,-8) and (5,-8)
zhenek [66]

Answer:

slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, - 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)

m = \frac{-8+8}{5+7} = \frac{0}{12} = 0
