since A = 1/2 b h, and the A is 279 and the height is 18, we can plug them in and solve for b.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Height = 5 ft

Short base = 10 ft

Long base = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height, a = short base, b = long base.

From the question,

a = 2h

b = a + 4 = 2h + 4

The area of the trapezoid is given by $\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h$ . Thus,

$60 = \frac{1}{2}(2h + 2h + 4)h$

$60 = \frac{(4h + 4)h }{2}$

$60 = \frac{4h(h + 1)}{2}$

$60 = 2h(h + 1)$

$30 = h(h + 1)$

$0 = h^2 + h - 30$

$0 = (h+6)(h-5)$

$h-5 = 0$ or $h+6 = 0$

$h= 5$ or $h = -6$

We discard the negative value of h since it is a measurement and cannot be negative.

$h= 5$

$a= 2h=2\times5=10$

$b= a+4=10+4=14$

ere is a picture of a cube and the net for this cube. What is the surface area of this cube? A. 1,350 mm2 B. 450 mm2 C. 225 mm2

lord [1]

Hello!

To find the surface area of a cube you do $6a^{2}$ where "a" is the length of one of the sides.

So $6 *15^{2}$ = 1350

the answer is 1350mm $^{2}$

Hope this helps!
