Answer:

Area = 52\sqrt3 \ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid

                         (\frac{a+ b}{2}) \times h      -----------( 1 )

We will split the trapezoid into Triangle and rectangle. To find the height and full length of base.

sin 60 = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}   [ opposite \  in  \ the \ equation \ \ is \ the \ height \ of \ the \ trapezoid  ]

\frac{\sqrt3}{2} = \frac{opposite }{ 8}\\\\\frac{\sqrt3}{2} \times 8 = opposite\\\\4\sqrt3 = opposite

Therefore, h = 4√3 ft

cos 60 = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}    adjacent \ in \ the\ equation \ is \ the\ base \ of \ the \ triangle ]

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\frac{1}{2} \times 8 = adjacent\\\\4 = adjacent

Therefore, a = 11 feet, b = 11 + 4 = 15 feet

Substitute the values in the Area equation :

                                                Area = \frac{11 + 15}{2} \times 4 \sqrt3 = \frac{26}{2} \times 4\sqrt3 = 13 \times 4\sqrt3=52\sqrt3 \ ft^2

Answer:

x=-\frac{70}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by doing operations to both sides of the equation.  

The work is shown below:

\frac{5}{7} =\frac{10}{x} +2\\\\\frac{5}{7} - 2=\frac{10}{x} +2 - 2\\\\-\frac{9}{7} = \frac{10}{x}\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}*x = \frac{10}{x}*x\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}x = 10\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}x * (-\frac{7}{9})= 10 * (-\frac{7}{9}) \\\\x=-\frac{70}{9}

Help with math please
JulijaS [17]
You can first multiply your coefficients (7x9), which gives you 63. You can then simplify the exponents by using the rule that when two terms with the same variable are being multiplied, you can simplify by adding exponents. Since 7+3= 10, your simplified answer would be 63x^10 :) hope it helped!

Answer:

2976 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Stool volume = upper smaller prism + Lower bigger prism

Stool volume = 8 x 6 x 12 + 20 x 12 x 10 = 576 + 2400 = 2976

check: volume = 20 x 12 x 16 - 12 x 12 x 6 = 2976
