Answer:

<h2>a = 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:

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

$b_1,\ b_2$ - bases

$h$ - height

We have:

$A=128,\ b_1=a+2,\ b_2=a-2,\ h=8$

Substitute:

$128=\dfrac{a+2+a-2}{2}\cdot8\\\\128=\dfrac{2a}{2}\cdot8$

$128=8a$ <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

$16=a\to a=16$

A family uses 1,303 kWh of electric energy in a month. If the power company charges $0.08 per kilowatt hour, what is the total e

prisoha [69]

The total electric energy bill for the month is $\$104.24$

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that

Electric energy consumed by family in a month = 1303 kWh

Power Company charges $\$0.08$ per kilowatt hour

Need to calculate total electric energy bill for the month.

Price of 1 kilowatt hour = $\$0.08$

$\text { Price of } 1303 \text { kilowatt hour }=1303 \text { x Price of } 1 \text { kilowatt hour }=1303 \times 0.08=\$ 104.24$

Total electric energy bill for the month = Price of Electric energy consumed by family in a month = Price of 1303 kilowatt hour = $\$104.24$

2 3/4+3 5/8 simplified

otez555 [7]

$2\frac{3}{4}+3 \frac{5}{8}=6\frac{3}{8}$

Solution:

Given expression is $2\frac{3}{4}+3 \frac{5}{8}$ .

To simplify the expression $2\frac{3}{4}+3 \frac{5}{8}.$

Let us first convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$2\frac{3}{4}+3 \frac{5}{8}=\frac{(2\times 4) + 3}{4}+ \frac{(3 \times 8)+5}{8}$

$=\frac{8+ 3}{4}+ \frac{24+5}{8}$

$=\frac{11}{4}+ \frac{29}{8}$

Take LCM for the denominators (LCM of 4, 8 = 8) and make the same.

$=\frac{11\times2}{4\times 2}+ \frac{29\times1}{8\times1}$

$=\frac{22}{8}+ \frac{29}{8}$

$=\frac{51}{8}$

Now, divide 51 by 8 and again write it in the mixed fraction.

$=6\frac{3}{8}$

$2\frac{3}{4}+3 \frac{5}{8}=6\frac{3}{8}$

Hence, the simplified answer is $6\frac{3}{8}$ .
