The question states that both parts of Noshi's desk were shaped like trapezoids and both had a height of 3.
We know that the formula for area of a trapezoid is (a+b)/2 * h, where a and b are bases of the trapezoid and h is the height. Note: This is like any other form of trying to find the area, because we are doing base times height, however, we need to divide the sum of the bases by 2 to find the average base length.
Let's call the first trapezoid on the left Trapezoid A and the second slanted trapezoid Trapezoid B.
Area of Trapezoid A = (a+b)/2 * h = (5+8)/2 * 3 = 13/2 * 3 = 6.5 * 3 = 19.5 feet
Area of Trapezoid B = (a+b)/2 * h = (4+9)/2 * 3 = 13/2 * 3 = 6.5 * 3 = 19.5 feet
To find the area of Noshi's total desk, we simply need to add the areas of Trapezoid A and Trapezoid B together.
19.5 feet + 19.5 feet = 39 feet
Therefore, the area of Noshi's desk is 39 feet.
Hope this helps! :)
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that the ellipse given as a vertical major axis (a=13), therefore, taking the ellipse with its center at the origin, you have the following equation:
(y^2/a^2)+(x^2/b^2)=1
2. You have the distance from the center of the ellipse to the focus:
c=12, therefore, you can calculate the value of b, the minor radius:
c^2=a^2-b^2
b=√(13^3-12^2)
b=5
3. Therefore, the equation is:
a^2=169
b^2=25
(y^2/169)+(x^2/25)=1
The answer is: (y^2/169)+(x^2/25)=1
The same thing to the other side
Answer:sum =378 according to your new questions.
to find average temperature
use formula
average =sum of temperature /no of measuring day
=378/9=42 is your answer
