Answer: 2.5 cm


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that area of trapezoid A = \frac{1}{2}h(a+b), where a and b are the opposite sides of trapezoid and h is the altitude of the trapezoid.

Given: AB = 1 cm and  CD = 5 cm, and the area = 7.5 square cm.

By the name of trapezoid we can see that AB and CD are opposite sides of trapezoid, then

Area of trapezoid=\frac{1}{2}h(AB+CD)=7.5\ cm^2

\Rightarroe\frac{1}{2}h(1+5)=7.5\\\Rightarrow\ h(6)=2\times7.5\\\Rightarrow\ h=\frac{2\times7.5}{6}\\\Rightarrow\ h=2.5

Hence, the altitude of the trapezoid = 2.5 cm

Area of a trapezoid = 1/(a + b)h; where a and b are the two parallel sides and h is the height (altitude).
7.5 = 1/2(1 + 5)h = 1/2(6)h = 3h
h = 7.5/3 = 2.5 cm.

How you know that the values of the digit in the numbers 1500,000 and 100,500 ate not the same
Sliva [168]

In this number 1500,000,

1 is at million place and 5 is at hundred thousand place

So, the value of 1 = 1 (1,000,000) = 1 million

And the value of 5  = 5 (100,000 ) = 500,000 = Five hundred thousand

In the second number 100,500

1 is at hundred thousand place and 5 is at hundred place

The value of 1 = 1 (100,000) = 100,000 = Hundred thousand

And the value of 5  = 5 (100 ) = 500 = Five hundred

Since the digits 1 and 5 both are at different places in both the numbers so 1,500,000 and 100,500 are not the same.
