We will have to use the formula for the area of a trapezoid on this problem, which is (
and 
are the bases of the trapezoid and 
is the height):
All we need to do is substitute the information we are given into our formula:
Now, let's just simplify the equation:
The missing base has a length of 13 units.
Since x is the length, then x+7 has to be the width.
The area of a rectangle can be found via the formula :
A = length * width
So if we replace the area with the given number (170) and the length, and width, with what we assumed, we get..
170 = x * (x+7)
[which is.. ]
170 = x^2 +7x
0 = x^2 +7x - 170
And that is the answer.
Answer:
7:56 A.M.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour and 59 mins = 119 mins
119+18 = 137
137/60 = 2 r 17
(10 - 2 = 8) - 17/60
Therefore they left at 7:56 A.M.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
given 2 secants drawn from an external point to the circle , then
the product of the measures of one secant's external part and that entire secant is equal to the product of the other secant's external part and that entire secant, that is
9(9 + 2 + 3x) = 10(10 + 2x + 2)
9(11 + 3x) = 10(12 + 2x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
99 + 27x = 120 + 20x ( subtract 20x from both sides )
99 + 7x = 120 ( subtract 99 from both sides )
7x = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 3
