Work out the area of the trapezium ABDE. A В. 7.5 cm 2.5 cm С 5 cm E

Mathematics
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Area = 50 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium ABDE = ½(a + b)h

where,

a = BD = 2.5 cm

b = AE = 7.5 cm

h = DE = ?

We need to find DE ti be able to calculate the area.

DE = CE - CD

DE = CE - 5

Since ∆ACE is similar to ∆BCD, therefore:

AE/BD = CE/CD

Plug in the values

7.5/2.5 = CE/5

Cross multiply

CE*2.5 = 7.5*5

CE*2.5 = 37.5

Divide both side any 2.5

CE = 37.5/2.5

CE = 15

Thus, DE = CE - 5 = 15 - 5

DE = 10

✅Area of trapezium = ½(BD + AE)DE

= ½(2.5 + 7.5)*10

= ½(10)10

= 50 cm²

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 + 16x – 9?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The zeros of the function are -0.488 and -7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

f(x) = 2x²+16x-9

The zeros of the function is gotten at when f(x) = 0

2x²+16x-9 = 0

Using the general equation

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a

From the equation, a = 2, b = 16 and c= -9

x = -16±√16²-4(2)(-9)/2(2)

x = -16±√256-72/4

x = -16±√184/4

x = -16+13.56/4

x = -16+13.56/4 and -16.13.56/4

x = --2.44/5 and -29.56/4

x = -0.488 and -7.39

3x^2+42x+105=0 Find the solution<br><br>  <br>  <br> 0<br> 0
Nina [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we have to find the factors so

3x2 + 42x + 105

First we will multiply 105 by 3 = 315 then find factors of 315 which may add or subtract = 42

So 45 and 7

3x2 + 45x - 7x + 105

3x( x + 15) - 7(x - 15)

(3x - 7) and ( x - 15) are the factors

There is a problem please recheck the question

A boat can travel 21mph in still water. If it travels 270 miles with the current in the same length of time it travels 108 miles
erica [24]

Answer: the speed of the current is 9 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the current.

A boat can travel 21 mph in still water. If it travels 270 miles with the current. It means that the total speed with which the boat travelled with the current is (21 + x) mph.

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by the boat in travelling 270 miles is

270/(21 + x)

In the same length of time, it travels 108 miles against the current. It means that the total speed with which the boat travelled against the current is (21 - x) mph.

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by the boat in travelling 108 miles is

108/(21 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

270/(21 + x) = 108/(21 - x)

270(21 - x) = 108(21 + x)

5670 - 270x = 2268 - 108x

108x + 270x = 5670 - 2268

378x = 3402

x = 3402/378

x = 9
