Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.

4.29 + 97.2 + 0.687 = 102.177

In adding decimal numbers, make sure that the decimal points are aligned. Since each number has different counts of numbers after the decimal point, use 0 to pad the missing places.
    
      4.290
    97.200
   <u>   0.687
</u>  102.177

The count of numbers after the decimal point is the same count of number of the decimal who has the greatest count of number after the decimal point.

4.29 only has 2 counts of places after the decimal point
97.2 only has 1 count of place after the decimal point
0.687 has 3 counts of places after the decimal point. 

The sum of the decimals must also have 3 counts of places after the decimal point.

How do you find the area of this (it is not 12 or 18) The First answer gets brainliest
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<em><u>ok the area of a trapezoid is 48 </u></em>

a+b divided by two multiplied by height  

Step-by-step explanation:

each square equals 2 so you count by twos instead of ones..

the height is 8   the base is 8 and the top is 4 so

4+8/2=6

6*8=48

Which of the following best defines an angle?
scoray [572]

Answer:

Third option

Step-by-step explanation:

The first definition is not as broad as it should be, therefore, while an angle does meet that criteria, it's not a general definition, hence, it is incorrect. The second one is incorrect as well because a parabola has a vertex, and it is certainly not an angle. This definition is not specific enough, so it will be eliminated. The last one is again, too specific. The third one is the best answer because it is broad enough while still being specific.
