If the area of a trapezoid is 104 cm squared , a = 4x -1 cm, b = x+2 cm , and h = 8 cm , calculate the length of the longer base

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

A=\dfrac{a+b}{2}\cdot h

We have:

a=4x-1;\ b=x+2;\ h=8;\ A=104cm^2

Substitute:

\dfrac{4x-1+x+2}{2}\cdot8=104\\\\\dfrac{5x+1}{1}\cdot4=104\ \ \ |:4\\\\5x+1=26\ \ \ |-1\\\\5x=25\ \ \ |:5\\\\x=5

The longer base is a = 4x - 1.

Substitute the value of x to the equation:

a=4(5)-1=20-1=19

Answer: 19 cm.

we are given trapezoid

Area is 104cm^2

a=4x-1 cm

b=x+2 cm

h=8cm

we can use area formula

Area=\frac{1}{2} (a+b)*h

we can plug above values

104=\frac{1}{2} (4x-1+x+2)*8

now, we can solve for x

104=\frac{1}{2} (5x+1)*8

13=\frac{1}{2} (5x+1)

26= (5x+1)

5x=25

so, we get

x=5

length of longer base is a

we can plug x=5 into a

a=4*5-1

a=19cm...............Answer

Alpha false and true Which of the following statements are true? If false, explain briefly.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

A. False

B. True

C. True

D.True

Step-by-step explanation:

A. False . The significance level or alpha is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that a difference exists when there is no actual difference. 0.01 alpha is better than 0.05 alpha . 0.01 indicate a 1% risk of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true .

B. True . If the p-value is less than alpha, we reject the null hypothesis . Therefore statistically significant.

C . True . If the p-value is less than alpha, we reject the null hypothesis

D. True . Alpha will be greater than p-value . Therefore we will reject .
