If the area of a trapezoid is 28 m with a height of 14 m in with one of the base being 1 m to find the length of the second face

1 answer:

4 0

The area of a trapezoid is basically the average width times the altitude, or as a formula:
Area = h ·

b 1 + b 2
2

where
b1, b2 are the lengths of each base
h is the altitude (height)
Recall that the bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid. The altitude (or height) of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

In the applet above, click on "freeze dimensions". As you drag any vertex, you will see that the trapezoid redraws itself keeping the height and bases constant. Notice how the area does not change in the displayed formula. The area depends only on the height and base lengths, so as you can see, there are many trapezoids with a given set of dimensions which all have the same area.

Two arithmetic means between 3 and 24 are -

defon

The value of two arithmetic means which are inserted between 3 and 24 are 24/9 and 75/9.

<h3>What is arithmetic mean?</h3>

Arithmetic mean is the mean or average which is equal to the ratio of sum of all the group numbers to the total numbers.

The two arithmetic means between 3 and 24 are has to be inserted.

3, A₂, A₃, 24

All the four numbers are in arithmetic progression. The nth terms of AM can be found using the following formula:

t(n)=a(n-1)d

Here, d is the common difference a is the first terms and n is the total term. The first term, a=3 and t₄=24. Thus, the common difference is;

$t(n)=a(n-1)d\\t(4)=3(4-1)d\\24=3(3)d\\24=9d\\d=\dfrac{24}{9}$
