Answer:

Height = 14

Base = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

h=6+b

a=(1/2)bh

a=56

56=(1/2)bh

times 2 both sides

112=bh

h=6+b

112=b(6+b)

112=b²+6b

minus 112 both sides

0=b²+6b-112

factor

what 2 numbers multily to get -112 and

add to get 6

-8 and 14

0=(b-8)(b+14)

set to zero

b-8=0

b=8

b+14=0

b=-14

false, measures can't be negative

base=8

h=6+b

h=6+8

h=14

height=14

base=8

Find the area of the shape below. Plz help!!!
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

A = 108 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the height between the 2 bases and b₁, b₂ are the parallel bases

Here h = 24 , b₁ = 8 , b₂ = 1 , then

A = \frac{1}{2} × 24 × (8 + 1) = 12 × 9 = 108 units²

Simplify the product using the distributive property. (-4h +2)(3h +7)
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

  A.  -12h² - 22h + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4h +2)(3h +7) = -4h(3h +7) +2(3h +7) . . . . . . . (a +b)c = ac +bc

  = (-4h)(3h) + (-4h)(7) + (2)(3h) + (2)(7) . . . . . . . a(b +c) = ab +ac . . . (twice)

  = -12h² -28h +6h +14

  = -12h² -22h +14 . . . . . . . . collect terms

Incomes in a certain town are strongly right-skewed with mean $36,000 and standard deviation $7000. a random sample of 75 househ
Svet_ta [14]
Since the sample is greater than 10, we can approximate this binomial problem with a normal distribution.

First, calculate the z-score:

z = (x - μ) / σ = (37000 - 36000) / 7000 = 0.143

The probability P(x > 37000$) = 1 - P(<span>x < 37000$), 
therefore we need to look up at a normal distribution table in order to find 
P(z < 0.143) = 0.55567 
And 
</span>P(x > 37000$) = 1 - <span>0.55567 = 0.44433

Hence, there is a 44.4% probability that </span><span>the sample mean is greater than $37,000.</span>
