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.

velikii [3]

<span>First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.</span>

City R has a temperature of -2 degrees. City S has a temperature of -6 degrees. Write an inequality to compare the temperatures

elena-s [515]

Answer:

-2 > -6 . . . or . . . R > S

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot the temperatures of the two cities on a number line, you see that the temperature for City R is plotted to the right of the temperature for City S. This means the temperature of City S is less than that of City R.

If your inequality relates cities:

S < R or R > S

If your inequality relates temperatures:

-6 < -2 or -2 > -6
