What is the base of the trapezoid with an area of 150 a height of 10 and a base of 14?

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

A= (a+b)/2*h

A=150
h=10
b=14
a=?

So we need to solve for a. Let's plug in the values that we do know...

A= (a+b)/2*h
150=(a+14)/2*10
150=(a/2+14/2)*10
150=(a/2+7)*10
Divide both sides by 10
15=a/2+7
subtract 7 from both sides
8=a/2
multiply both sides by 2
16=a

The other base is 16

A<span> is the area of a trapezoid
a and b are the lengths of its two bases
h is the height 
Let x be the shorter base.
Then the longer base is x+2 
Substituting the following into the formula
a = x

b = x+2
A = 150
h = 10
we have 

Solving for x, we have
So the shorter one is 14 meters long, the longer one is 16 meters long
I hope i helped you :-0

Margarita traces a circle with a radius of 20 centimeters like the one shown below. She will color in the shaded region. What is
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

314 cm ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First do, 3.14 x 20 ^ 2

3.14 x 20 ^ 2 = 1,256

Then do, 1,256/4

1,256/4 = 314

Why 4?

This part of the circle is 1/4 of the entire circle.

What does ^ mean?

It's just a way to say to the power of on a computer.

Hope this helps! :)

Given f(x) = x − 7 and g(x) = x2 . Find g(f(−1)).
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

g(f(-1)) can be found by first finding f(-1) then taking that result and putting it into the function g.

f(-1) means we are going to take the expression x-7 and evaluate it for x=-1:  

-1-7

-8

So f(-1)=-8.

So we have this so far:

g(f(-1))=g(-8)=(-8)^2=64.

g(-8) was found by replacing x in x^2 with -8.
