Try it with some random number, like a=3.
Is "3+0 = 0+3 = 0" true? No.
If you were doing multiplication, then it would be true, but not with addition.
Answer:
Can you give more information?
The first side is 10 inches
the side parallel to this is (10×2)= 20 inches
Height is half the length=1/2×20=10 inches
The area of trapezium is given by:
Area=1/2×h×(a+b)
where a and b are the sides, h is the height. Thus the area will be:
Area=1/2×10×(20+10)
=1/2×10×30
=150 sq. inches
The picture in the attached figure
we know that
the total capacity of the storage container=volume of a cone+volume of cylinder
step 1
find the volume of a cone
volume of a cone=(1/3)*pi*r²*h
r=6 m
h=8 m
so
volume=(1/3)*pi*6²*8-----> 301.44 m³
step 2
find the volume of the cylinder
volume of a cylinder=pi*r²*h
r=6 m
h=10 m
s6
volume=pi*6²*10----> 1130.40 m³
total volume=301.44+1130.4-----> 1431.84 m³-------> 1400 m³
the answer is1400 m³
