The area of a trapezoid is

Mathematics
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 15cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the length of the second parallel side

Area of a trapezium is given by

A =  \frac{1}{2} (a + b)h

where

h is the height

a and b are the parallel sides

From the question

Area = 230 cm²

height = 20cm

one of parallel side / a = 8 cm

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for b

That's

230 =  \frac{1}{2} ( 8 + b) 20

Reduce the fraction with 2

That's

230 = (8 + b) \times 10

Expand the terms

That's

230 = 80 + 10b

10b = 230 - 80 \\ 10b = 150

Divide both sides by 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>b = 15cm</h3>

Hope this helps you

The graph of y &gt; 1 2 x - 2 is shown. Which set contains only points that satisfy the inequality? A) {(6, 1), (-1, -3), (4, 4)
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Option B) {(1, -1), (-3, -3), (2, 4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct inequality is </em></u>

y>\frac{1}{2}x-2

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If a ordered pair satisfy the inequality, then the ordered pair must lie in the shaded area of the solution

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case A) {(6, 1), (-1, -3), (4, 4)}

ordered pair (6,1)

For x=6, y=1

substitute in the inequality

1>\frac{1}{2}(6)-2

1>1 ---> is not true

therefore

The point not satisfy the inequality

case B)  {(1, -1), (-3, -3), (2, 4)}

ordered pair (1,-1)

For x=1, y=-1

substitute in the inequality

-1>\frac{1}{2}(1)-2

-1>-1.5 ---> is true

so

The point satisfy the inequality

ordered pair (-3,3)

For x=-3, y=3

substitute in the inequality

3>\frac{1}{2}(-3)-2

3>-3.5 ---> is true

so

The point satisfy the inequality

ordered pair (2,4)

For x=2, y=4

substitute in the inequality

4>\frac{1}{2}(2)-2

4>-1 ---> is true

so

The point satisfy the inequality

therefore

The set contains only points that satisfy the inequality

case C) {(1, -1), (-3, -3), (4, -2)}

ordered pair (4,-2)

For x=4, y=-2

substitute in the inequality

-2>\frac{1}{2}(4)-2

-2>0 ---> is not true

therefore

The point not satisfy the inequality

case D) {(-1, -3), (-3, -3), (2, 4)}

ordered pair (-1,-3)

For x=-1, y=-3

substitute in the inequality

-3>\frac{1}{2}(-1)-2

-3>-2.5 ---> is not true

therefore

The point not satisfy the inequality

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

n>3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

3n−1+1>8+1

3n>9

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3n/3>9/3

n>3
