If the shapes are similar and the smaller trapezoid's long base is half of the big trapezoid's long base than that means that the small trapezoid's short base would be half of the big trapezoid's short base.
Answer: The Little Trapezoid's shorter base is 1 mi long.
I hope this helps.

Answer:
$26,600
Step-by-step explanation:
$19,950 / $15 = 1330 tickets
1330 x $20 = 26,600
Money collected independent
tickets sold dependent
We are given the equations 3x+5y=-3 and x-5y=-5.
Both equations have a 5y term which allows us to easily solve the system by elimination. To do so we will add the equations together like a simple addition problem by adding the x terms together, the y terms together, and the integer answers together.
3x + 5y = -3
+x - 5y = -5
---------------
4x + 0y = -8
The y terms cancel out since one is positive and one is negative. Now we can solve for x.
4x = -8

x = -2
Now plug -2 in for x in one of the original equations to find y.
(-2) - 5y = -5
-5y = -3
y = 3/5
Our answer as an ordered pair is (2, 3/5)
