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

A right triangle is given with a missing value of t. It is stated that the triangle is an acute right triangle with angles 50∘ a
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: t=20°


Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees.

2. Keeping the information above on mind, you can write the following expression:

90+50+2t=180

3. Now, you must solve for t as following:

140+2t=180\\2t=180-140\\2t=40\\t=\frac{40}{2}\\t=20

4. Therefore, the value of t is 20°

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

92∘

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles combine to create a straight angle. So, they have a sum of 180.

∠x + ∠y

∠x + 88 -------------->  180

=92∘
