Answer:
<h2>The lengths of the bases of the trapezoid:</h2><h2>
42/h cm and 84/h cm.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of an area of a triangle:
<em>b</em><em> </em>- base
<em>h</em> - height
We have <em>b = 21cm, h = 6cm</em>.
Substitute:
The formula of an area of a trapezoid:
<em>b₁, b₂</em> - bases
<em>h</em><em> - </em>height
We have <em>b₁ = 2b₂</em>, therefore <em>b₁ + b₂ = 2b₂ + b₂ = 3b₂</em>.
The area of a triangle and the area of a trapezoid are the same.
Therefore
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>divide both sides by 3</em>
<em>divide both sides by h</em>
Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.
We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.
(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3
This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.
Answer:
238
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to figure out the area for each of the boxes, and then you add all of the areas together
9/10 : 1/10 = 45,000,000 : x
x = 45000000/9 = 5,000,000
