Answer:

42 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

The area of a trapezoid can be found using this formula

$a = \frac{a + b}{2} h$

where a and b are bases and h is height

if you look at the graph we can see that the lines are counting by 2 units

knowing this we want to find the dimensions

the shown trapezoid has the following dimensions

a =2*2 or 4

b=5*2 or 10

h=3*2 or 6

having found this information we then plug it into the formula

$a = \frac{4+ 10}{2} 6 \\ 4 + 10 = 14 \\ \frac{14}{2} = 7 \\ 7 \times 6 = 42$

so we can conclude that the area of the trapezoid is 42 square units

Gas in Germany cost 1.50 euros per liter. how much is this in dollars per gallon

SIZIF [17.4K]

To solve this problem, you will have to first find how many US Dollars are in 1 Euro. Upon looking this up, I see that currently 1 Euro is worth 1.23 US Dollars. Next, you must calculate how many liters are in a gallon. Looking this up shows that 1 liter is equal to 0.264 gallons.

Since 0.264 is not a whole gallon and we are asked to find the price per gallon, we should next calculate how many liters can fit in a gallon. To do this, we will divide 1 by 0.264, which gives us 3.78. This tells us that 3.78 liters will fit into a gallon.

The cost of 1L of gas in euros is 1.50 Euros. Since we need 3.78L to equal 1 gallon, we can calculate the cost of this to be:

3.78 * 1.50 = €5.67

Earlier we determined that 1 euro is worth 1.23 US Dollars. Our final step is to convert our €5.67 per gallon to dollars per gallon. To do this, we simply have to multiply 5.67 by 1.23. This gives us $6.97.

So, our answer is that the cost is $6.97 per gallon.

Hopefully this is correct and makes sense to you. This is how I would approach the question.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length in the right triangle

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

If 17 is the hypotenuse

$c=17\\\\b=12\\\\a=?\\\\c^{2} =a^2+b^2\\\\17^2=a^2+12^2\\\\17^2-12^2=a^2\\\\(17-12)(17+12)=a^2\\\\5(27)=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{9*3*5} \\\\a=3\sqrt{15} \\\\a=11.6$

if you are looking for the hypotenuse

$a=17\\\\b=12\\\\c=?\\\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\17^2+12^2=c^2\\\\289+144=c^2\\\\433=c^2\\\\c=\sqrt{433} \\\\c=20.8$

If (ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c)=3x^2-9, what is the value of A + B + C?

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

We have the equation:

(ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c)= 3x^2 - 9

First, move all to the left side.

(ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c) - 3x^2 + 9 = 0

Now let's group togheter terms with the same power of x.

(a - 5 - 3)*x^2 + (3 - b)*x + (2b + 3c + 9) = 0.

This must be zero for all the values of x, then the things inside each parenthesis must be zero.

a - 5 - 3 = 0

a = 3 + 5 = 8.

3 - b = 0

b = 3.

2b + 3c + 9 = 0

2*3 + 3c + 9 = 0

3c = -6 - 9 = -15

c = -15/3 = -5

Then we have:

a = 8, b = 3, c = -5

a + b + c = 8 + 3 - 5 = 6
