Answer: A = 317

B = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation can be gotten from the question given. This will be:

A + B = 379 ........ i

A - B = 255 ........ ii

From equation i, make A the subject of the formula

A = 379 - B ...... iii

Put the value of A in iii into equation ii

A - B = 255

(379 - B) - B = 255

379 - B - B = 255

379 - 2B = 255

2B = 379-255

2B = 124

B = 124/2

B = 62 tons

Since A + B = 379

A + 62 = 379

A = 379 - 62

A = 317 tons

The area of a trapezoid is
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 15cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the length of the second parallel side

Area of a trapezium is given by

A =  \frac{1}{2} (a + b)h

where

h is the height

a and b are the parallel sides

From the question

Area = 230 cm²

height = 20cm

one of parallel side / a = 8 cm

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for b

That's

230 =  \frac{1}{2} ( 8 + b) 20

Reduce the fraction with 2

That's

230 = (8 + b) \times 10

Expand the terms

That's

230 = 80 + 10b

10b = 230 - 80 \\ 10b = 150

Divide both sides by 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>b = 15cm</h3>

Hope this helps you
