<h2>Answer</h2>

A:18 inches

<h2>Explanation</h2>

To solve this, we just need to find the length of the median of the trapezoidal tiles. Remember that the length of the median of a trapezoid is half the sum of the length of the bases.

We know from our problem that the bases of our trapezoid are 15 inches and 21 inches long, so the median of our trapezoid is:

Median=\frac{15in+21in}{2}

Median=\frac{36in}{2}

Median=18in

We can conclude that John will need to cut 18 inches so he cuts the tiles along the median.

Arisa [49]
The bear can walk at a rate of 2 mph, which means after 4 hours it could have traveled 8 miles. That is our radius. To calculate the area of a circle, remember the formula
A = \pir^2

3.14 * 8^2 = A
3.14 * 64 = A
200.96 = A

An area of 200.96 square miles must be searched.

How much artificial turf should be purchased to cover an athletic field that is in the shape of a trapezoid with a height of H =
Nata [24]

Answer:

581 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is determine as the average between the length of both bases T and B (46 and 37 m) multiplied by the height H. The area is:

A = H*\frac{(T+B)}{2}\\A = 14*\frac{(46+37)}{2}\\A= 581 m^2

Assuming that enough turf must be bought to cover the whole extension of the field, the amount of turf that should be purchased is 581 m².

A function f defined by f(x) = x² + px + q is such that f(3) = 6 and f¹(3) = 0. Find the value of q.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

q = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + px + q , then

f(3) = 3² + 3p + q = 6 , that is

9 + 3p + q = 6 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3p + q = - 3 → (1)

---------------------------------------

f'(x) = 2x + p , then

f'(3) = 2(3) + p = 0, that is

6 + p = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

p = - 6

Substitute p = - 6 into (1)

3(- 6) + q = - 3

- 18 + q = - 3 ( add 18 to both sides )

q = 15

Plz Help!!!!!!!!!! 14. Teenagers should sleep between 8 and 10 hours per night. Sarah typically sleeps 2 hours less than this pe
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The amount of time that Sarah sleeps is 6<x<8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematical inequality is that proposition that relates two algebraic expressions whose values ​​are different. It is a proposition of relation between two different elements, either by greater, lesser, greater or equal inequality, or less or equal.

A compound inequality (or combined inequality) is two or more inequalities joined with or and and.

When two inequalities are joined with and, they are often written as a double inequality.

You know that teenagers should sleep between 8 and 10 hours per night.. Being x the number of hours slept per night, this can be represented by the following double inequality:

8<x<10

If Sarah normally sleeps 2 hours less per night, this indicates that she sleeps between (8-2) and (10-2) hours per night, that is, between 6 and 8 hours. Represented by a double inequality, Sarah normally sleeps:

6<x<8

<u><em>The amount of time that Sarah sleeps is 6<x<8</em></u>
