The base of trapezoid is equal to a = 25.5 cm and b = 43.5 cm.
The area of trapezoid is A = 1656.
The formula for the area of trapezoid is,

Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the height of trapezoid.

So height of trapezoid is 48 cm.
Answer:
98.88
Step-by-step explanation:
I used a calculator and that's what it said the answer is srry if it might be wrong-
Cost = (3,500) * (1.04)^years
Cost = (3,500) * (1.04)^4

<span><span>Cost = </span>4,094.50</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First let us evaluate the value of both the expressions.


a) Hence, Larry's claim that both the expressions are equivalent is wrong.
The evaluation of the expressions have been shown above. The second expression was obtained by swapping the addition and multiplication order and that created the difference.
b) Clearly,
520 > 264
Therefore,

is greater by the expression
by a value of 520 - 264 = 256.
