from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.
likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so

Answer:
2.33 = BC
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
tan theta = opp / adj
tan B = AC / BC
tan 25 = AC / 5
Multiply each side by 5
5 tan 25 = BC
2.331538291 = BC
To the nearest hundredth
2.33 = BC
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y can be found using the Law of sines as explained below:
m < Y = 106°
m < X = 58°
WY = x = 8
WX = y = ?
Thus,
Multiply both sides by 0.961 to solve for y

Answer:
1.645 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you must divide the total length by 5. 8.225/5=1.645. Each board will be 1.645 feet long
37.5 quarts of lemonade will need to be made to serve all 300 students 1 serving of lemonade. Because 8 cups equals two quarts and 300/8 =37.5.
