Answer:
Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is equal to
A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h
we have
b1=16 cm
b2=24 cm
h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm
substitute
A=(1/2)[16+24](8)
A=160 cm²
<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)
Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"
so
(24+16)=(16+24)
A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²
<em>Verify Tara's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)
A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²
The answer is B. To find the Circumference (what you're looking for) you use 2×pi×radius. Which is 2×pi×7. In terms of pi that's just 2×7, which equals 14. So that means your answer is 14pi.
Answer:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable
Exact Form:
x = - 25/8 
Decimal Form:
x = -3.125
Mixed Number Form:
x = - 3/1/8 
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached image for a diagram.
Choose <em>w</em> to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width: it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.
Length = 3w + 3
The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = <em>w</em>, other leg = 3<em>w</em> + 3, hypotenuse = 13.
The Pythagorean Theorem says
so

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with
.

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.
