Answer:

<h2>The lengths of the bases of the trapezoid:</h2><h2>42/h cm and 84/h cm.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a triangle:

A=\dfrac{bh}{2}

<em>b</em><em> </em>- base

<em>h</em> - height

We have <em>b = 21cm, h = 6cm</em>.

Substitute:

A=\dfrac{(21)(6)}{2}=63\ cm^2

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h

<em>b₁, b₂</em> - bases

<em>h</em><em> - </em>height

We have <em>b₁ = 2b₂</em>, therefore <em>b₁ + b₂ = 2b₂ + b₂ = 3b₂</em>.

The area of a triangle and the area of a trapezoid are the same.

Therefore

\dfrac{3b_2}{2}\cdot h=63         <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

3b_2h=126          <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

b_2h=42         <em>divide both sides by h</em>

b_2=\dfrac{42}{h}

b_1=2b_2\to b_1=2\cdot\dfrac{42}{h}=\dfrac{84}{h}

Answer:

The length of the bases of the trapezoid is b_1=42H and b_2=84H      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The triangle and the trapezoid have the same area. Base b_2 is twice the length of base b_1.

To find : What are the lengths of the bases of the trapezoid. The triangle is 21 cm base and 6 cm height decompose the triangle?

Solution :

The area of the triangle is A_t=\frac{1}{2}bh

The triangle is 21 cm base and 6 cm height,

A_t=\frac{1}{2}\times 21\times 6

A_t=63\ cm^2

The area of the trapezoid is A_T=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}H

The triangle and the trapezoid have the same area.

i.e. 63=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}H

Base b_2 is twice the length of base b_1

i.e. b_2=2b_1

Substitute,

63=\frac{b_1+2b_1}{2}H

63=\frac{3b_1}{2}H

126=(3b_1)H

\frac{126}{3H}=b_1

b_1=42H

Put in b_2=2b_1,

b_2=2(42H)

b_2=84H

The length of the bases of the trapezoid is b_1=42H and b_2=84H

Sedbober [7]

Cost for a carnation is $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Rose = x

Carnation = y

According to given statement;

8x+5y=31.75   Eqn 1

x+3y=5.75   Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 2\ by\ 8\\8(x+3y=5.75)\\8x+24y=46 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 1\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(8x+24y)-(8x+5y)=46-31.75\\8x+24y-8x-5y=14.25\\19y=14.25\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 19\\\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{14.25}{19}\\y=0.75

Cost for a carnation is $0.75
