Answer:

Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h

we have

b1=16 cm

b2=24 cm

h=8 cm -----> Note The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

A=(1/2)[16+24](8)

A=160 cm²

Verify Scott 's work

Note Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)

Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

Verify Tara's work

Note Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Akira receives the prize at the science fair for having the most informative project her trophy is in the shape of a square pyra

mina [271]

Answer:

Akira needs 45 square inches of gold foil to cover the chair free including the bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface = surface area of the base square + area of 4 triangles

Step 1: The surface area of the base square

surface area of the base = surface area of the square = $s^2$

where s is the side length

The the surface area of the base = $3^2$ = 9 square inches

Step 2: The surface area of the side triangles 

The area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times \text{side length} \times \text{slant height}$

On substituting the values,

The area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 6$

The area of the triangle = $\frac{18}{2}$

The area of the triangle = 9 square inches

Now the area of 4 triangles = 4 x 9 = 36 square inches

Thus the total surface area = 9 + 36 = 45 square inches

professor190 [17]

Answer: 4778.69 + b + d - z

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given above, we would add the deposits made, and the interest earned to the balance at the beginning of September while we would subtract the check written, and the maintenance fee from the balance.

This will algebraically be expressed as:

= 6238.67 + d - 1459.98 - z + b

= 6238.67 - 1459.98 + b + d - z

= 4778.69 + b + d - z
