We have to round the value of 0.1561 to the nearest tenth.
The number after decimal is the number at tenth place. Consider the number to the right of the tenths place and use the number to determine if you will round up or stay the same. Notice that the number to the right of tenth place is more than or equal to 5 or less than 5. If that number is greater than or equal to 5, then the number will round up but if that number is less than 5, then the number will not round up. It will remain same.
Let us consider the given number 0.1561
The number at tenths place is 1
The number after the tenths place is 5 (which is either greater than or equal to 5)
So, the number will round up to 0.2
1) addition property , you add the -3 over
2) division property , you divide by 6x
3)multiplication property , multiply the 3 by 5 to solve for x .
The volume of the given trapezoidal prism is 312 cubic units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To find the volume of a trapezoidal prism, we multiply the area of the trapezoidal surface with the height of the prism.
The area of a trapezoidal surface, 
a and b are the lengths of the upper and lower bases and h is the height of the trapezoid.
For the given trapezoid, a is 5 units long and b is 8 units long while height, h is 4 units.
The area of the trapezoidal surface, 
So the area of the trapezoidal surface is 26 square units.
Step 2:
To determine the volume of the prism, we multiply the area of the trapezoidal surface with the height of the prism.
The area is 26 square units and the height of the prism is 12 units.
The volume of the prism, 
The volume of the given trapezoidal prism is 312 cubic units.
The answer is 6x+12. Have a GREAT day!!!! :)
