Solve this problem using the proper formula. A lot is in the shape of a trapezoid. The sum of the bases is 280 feet. If the area

of the lot is 8,400 square feet, what is the distance across the lot, i.e., the altitude of the figure? The altitude of the trapezoid is feet.

Answer:

  60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Fill in the given information and solve for h.

  8400 ft² = (1/2)(280 ft)h

  h = 8400 ft²/(140 ft) = 60 ft

The altitude of the trapezoid is 60 feet.

bette drives at 60 mph for 2 and a half hours and 75 mph for 1 and a half hours. What is her average rate of speed?
andrezito [222]
There are a couple of ways to think about this.

1) Weight the speed by the time and compute the weighted average.
   (60*2.5 + 75*1.5)/(2.5 + 1.5) = 65.625
Her average rate of speed is 65.625 mph.


2) Consider distance and time.
   distance = speed * time
   distance₁ = speed₁ * time₁
   distance₂ = speed₂ * time₂
   total distance = distance₁ + distance₂
   total time = time₁ + time₂
And the average speed is given by
   average speed = (total distance)/(total time)

Using the above formulas, we have
   distance₁ = 60 mi/h * 2.5 h = 150 mi
   distance₂ = 75 mi/h * 1.5 h = 112.5 mi
   total distance = 150 mi + 112.5 mi = 262.5 mi

   total time = 2.5 h + 1.5 h = 4.0 h

   average speed = (262.5 mi) / (4.0 h) = 65.625 mi/h


Bette's average rate of speed is 65.625 mph.
