Answer:

The length of the longer base he 35 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of the longer base of the trapezoid

Mathematically, we can find the area using the formula;

1/2( a + b) h

where a is the shorter base

b is the longer base

h is the height

Let the shorter base be x

The other base is 5 times this length and that makes 5 * x = 5x

Height is the average of both bases;

(x + 5x)/2 = 6x/2 = 3x

Substituting these in the formula, we have ;

1/2(x + 5x)3x = 441

3x(6x) = 882

18x^2 = 882

x^2 = 882/18

x^2 = 49

x^2 = 7^2

x = 7

But the longer base is 5x and that will be 5 * 7 = 35 units

Felipe, Pedro y Miguel son fanáticos del cine. Felipe asiste cada 3 días; Pedro cada 6 días y Miguel cada 5 días. Los tres van j
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Opción C, 30 días.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que:

Felipe asiste al cine cada 3 días

Miguel asiste cada 5 días.

Pedro asiste cada 6 días.

Los tres van juntos un día,  ¿dentro de cuántos días irán otra vez juntos?

Los 3 volverán a ir juntos luego de N días, tal que N es el menor múltiplo común de 3, 5 y 6.

Como 6 es múltiplo de 3, podemos ignorar al 3, y solo considerar al menor múltiplo en común de 5 y 6.

Además, como podemos reescribir estos números como un producto de números primos, así obtenemos:

6 = 2*3

5 = 5*1

Estos números no comparten factores entre ellos, por lo que el menor múltiplo entre 5 y 6 es simplemente 5*6 = 30

Entonces podemos concluir que N = 30

Felipe, Pedro y Miguel irán juntos al cine nuevamente dentro de 30 días.

La opción correcta es C.

The surface area of a right cone is 400.2 m2. The radius of the cone is 6.0 m. Determine the height of the cone to the nearest m
svetoff [14.1K]
                 S = πr(r + √(h² + r²))
          400.2 = 3.14(6)(6 + √(h² + 6²))
          400.2 = 18.84(6 + √(h² + 36))
          18.84                 18.84
        21¹⁰⁹/₄₇₁ = 6 + √(h² + 36))
        - 6         - 6
        15¹⁰⁹/₄₇₁ = √(h² + 36)
231²²¹⁰⁰⁵/₂₂₁₈₄₁ = h² + 36
- 36                       - 36
195²²¹⁰⁰⁵/₂₂₁₈₄₁ = h²
                14 ≈ h
