Answer:

  3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the given information, we can solve for h.

  15 ft² = 1/2(4 ft +6 ft)h

  15 ft² = (5 ft)h

  h = (15 ft²)/(5 ft) = 3 ft

The height of the trapezoid is 3 feet.

the area of a triangle is 124 square units. what would it's new area be if its base was half as long and its height was three ti
Montano1993 [528]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that the formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

 A=bh/2

 Where A is the area of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

 bh/2=124
 bh=124x2
 bh=248

 2. The problem asks for the new area of the triangle <span>if its base was half as long and its height was three times as long. Then, you have:

 Base=b/2
 Height=3h

 3. Therefore, when you substitute this into the formula for calculate the area of a triangle, you obtain:

 A'=bh/2

 (A' is the new area)

 A'=(b/2)(3)/2
 A'=3bh/4

 4. When you substitute bh=248 into </span>A'=3bh/4, you obtain:
<span>
 A'=186 units</span>²
<span>
 The answer is: </span>186 units²

Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

tan56°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition identity for tangent ratio is

tan(x + y) = \frac{tanx+tany}{1-tanxtany} , thus

\frac{tan24+tan32}{1-tan24tan32} = tan(24 + 32)° = tan56°
