Answer:

Given

Number of stacks = 2

Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm

Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm

Let's first find the average:

With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:

50 / (4/3)

= 50 * 3/4

= 150/4

= 37.5

From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.

Answer:

Height = 5 ft

Short base = 10 ft

Long base = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height, a = short base, b = long base.

From the question,

a = 2h

b = a + 4 = 2h + 4

The area of the trapezoid is given by $\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h$ . Thus,

$60 = \frac{1}{2}(2h + 2h + 4)h$

$60 = \frac{(4h + 4)h }{2}$

$60 = \frac{4h(h + 1)}{2}$

$60 = 2h(h + 1)$

$30 = h(h + 1)$

$0 = h^2 + h - 30$

$0 = (h+6)(h-5)$

$h-5 = 0$ or $h+6 = 0$

$h= 5$ or $h = -6$

We discard the negative value of h since it is a measurement and cannot be negative.

$h= 5$

$a= 2h=2\times5=10$

$b= a+4=10+4=14$

Help???<br> Its a two step inequality problem. I dunno what X equals too.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

$x \geq -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4x + 2 \geq -6x$

Add $6x$ to both sides:

$-4x + 2 + 6x \geq -6x + 6x$

$2x + 2 \geq 0$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$2x + 2 - 2 \geq 0 - 2$

$2x \geq -2$

Divide both side by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2} \geq \frac{-2}{2}$

$x \geq -1$
