The following is the formula for finding the area (A) of a trapezoid with height (h) and bases (b1) and (b2). A = 1/2h(b1 + b2)

Which shows the formula correctly solve for the height in terms of the two bases?
A. h = 1/2A(b1 + b2)
B. h = 2A/b1 + b2
C. h = 2A - b1 - b2
D. h = A/2(b1 + b2)

Answer:

<em>Correct choice: B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation Solving</u>

The area of a trapezoid with height h and bases b1 and b2 is given by:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}h(b_1+b_2)$

We must solve this formula for h.

First, multiply by 2 to eliminate denominators:

$\displaystyle 2A=h(b_1+b_2)$

Now, divide by b1+b2:

$\displaystyle \frac{2A}{b_1+b_2}=h$

Swapping sides:

$\displaystyle h=\frac{2A}{b_1+b_2}$

Correct choice: B

40 percent of students survey said that they are night owls . If 300 students said that they are night owls how many students we

sattari [20]

Based on the calculations that 300 is 40%, 375 is considered 50% or halfway.. in this case, we must multiply 375 by 2 and we will discover how many students were surveyed:

375 x 2 = 750

Let the capacity of bus be x students

And van be y students, now ;

From the given statements we get two equations ~

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:2x + 10y = 260 \: \: \: \: \: (1)$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:13x + 5y = 670 \: \: \: \: \: (2)$

multiply the equation (2) with 2 [ it won't change the values ]

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:2x + 10y = 260 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (1)$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:26x + 10y = 1340 \: \: \: \: \: (3)$

Now, deduct equation (1) from equation (3)

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:26x + 10y - 2x - 10y = 1340 - 260$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:24x = 1080$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:x = 1080 \div 24$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:x = 45$

Therefore each bus can carry (x) = 45 students

Now, plug the value of x in equation (1) to find y ~

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:2x + 10y = 260$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:(2 \times 45) + 10y = 260$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:90 + 10y = 260$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:10y = 260 - 90$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:10y = 170$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:y = 170 \div 10$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:y = 17$

Hence, each van can carry (y) = 17 students in total.
