Answer:

390 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer base of a trapezoid is 8 ft. The longer base of a similar trapezoid is 13 ft. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 240 ft² What is the area of the larger trapezoid?

We solve the above question using proportion

(Longer base/Area of trapezoid) smaller trapezoid = (Longer base/Area of trapezoid) bigger trapezoid

Let the the Area of the bigger trapezoid = x

Hence,

= 8ft/240ft = 13ft/x ft

Cross Multiply

8ft × x = 240ft × 13ft

x = 240ft² × 12 ft/8 ft

x = 390 ft²

Answer:

The sun is about 390 times farther than earth is from the moon

Step-by-step explanation:

It's kind of hard to understand the question but it's essentially asking how many times farther earth is from the sun than earth is from the Moon. Or basically measure the distance from the earth to the moon. Then show how much bigger the distance from the Earth to the Sun is by comparing it from the earth to the moon. To do this you divide the distance of moon by the distance of the sun to get how many times you could you could fit the distance between the Earth and The Moon from the Earth to the Sun.
