Answer:
One Dimension
Step-by-step explanation:
"Length is a measure of one dimension, whereas area is a measure of two dimensions (length squared) and volume is a measure of three dimensions (length cubed)." ~ GOOGLE
Answer:
85
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are referring to the area of a "trapezoid"; in which one calculates the Area, "A", as follows:
________________________
<span> A = 1/2* h(b1+b2) ;
in which: A = Area = 16 (given);
h = height = 4 (given);
b1 = length of one of the two bases = 3 (given);
b2 = length of the other of the two bases = ? (what we want to solve for) ;
______________________________________________________
Using the formula: </span>A = 1/2 h(b1+b2) ;
________________________________
Let us plug in our known values:
___________________________
→ 16 = (1/2) * 4*(3 + b2) ; → Solve for "b2".
________________________________
→Note: On the "right-hand side" on this equation: "(1/2)*(4) = 2 ."
________________________________
So, we can rewrite the equation as:
________________________________
→ 16 = 2*(3 + b2) ; → Solve for "b2".
________________________________
We can divide EACH side of the equation by "2"; to cancel the "2" on the "right-hand side" of the equation:
________________________________
→ 16 / 2 = [2*(3 + b2)] / 2 ; → to get:
___________________________
8 = (3 + b2) ;
_________________
→ Rewrite as: 8 = 3 + b2;
_______________________
Subtract "3" from EACH side of the equation; to isolate "b2" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b2" :
______________________________
→ 8 - 3 = 3 + b2 - 3 ; → to get:
_____________________
b2 = 5; From the 2 (TWO) answer choices given, this value,
"b2 = 5", corresponds with the following answer choice:
____________________
b2= [16-6]/2= 5 ; as this is the only answer choice that has: "b2 = 5".
<span>_________________________________________
As far getting "</span>b2 = 5" from: "b2= [16-6]/2= 5"; (as mentioned in the answer choice), we need simply to approach the problem in a slightly different manner. Let us do so, as follows:
<span>_____________________________________
Start from: </span>A = 1/2 h(b1+b2); and substitute our known (given) values):<span>
________________________
</span>→ 16 = (1/2) *4 (3 + b2) ; → Solve for "b2".
_____________________________
Note that: (½)*4 = 2; so we can substitute "2" for: "(1/2) *4" ;
and rewrite the equation as follows:
_________________________
→ 16 = 2 (3 + b2) ;
____________________
Note: The distributive property of multiplication:
_________________________
a*(b+c) = ab + ac ;
_________
As such: 2*(3 + b2) = (2*3 + 2*b2) = (6 + 2b2).
_________________
So we can substitute: "(6 + 2b2)" in lieu of "[2*(3 + b2)]"; and can rewrite the equation:
______________________
→ <span>16 = 6 + 2(b2) ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH side of the equation; to attempt to isolate "b2" on one side of the equation:</span>
<span>________________________________________________
</span>→ 16 - 6 = 6 + 2(b2) - 6 ;
→ Since "6-6 = 0"; the "6 - 6" on the "right-hand side" of the equation cancel.
→ We now have: 16 - 6 = 2*b2 ;
___________
Now divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2"; to isolate "b2" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b2":
____________________
→ (16 - 6) / 2 = (2*b2) / 2 ;
→ (16 - 6) / 2 = b2 ;
→ (10) / 2 = b2 = 5.
______________
NOTE: The other answer choice given:
_____________
"<span>16= 1/2* 4(3+b2)= 6+2b2" is incorrect; since it does not solve for "b2".</span>
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
1. x*21 = 24*14 (intersecting chords theorem)
21x = 336
x = 336/21
x = 16
2. 27*x = 45² (secant-tangent rule)
27x = 2,025
x = 2,025/27
x = 75
3. (x + 5)*5 = (4 + 6)*6 (Intersecting secants theorem)
5x + 25 = (10)*6
5x + 25 = 60
5x = 60 - 25
5x = 35
x = 35/5
x = 7
4. (4x + 2)*8 = (5x + 1)*7
32x + 16 = 35x + 7
Collect like terms
32x - 35x = -16 + 7
-3x = -9
x = -9/-3
x = 3
