Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a trapezoid is

A = 1/2(a +b)h

The formula to find the height =

h = 2A/a + b

A= 216 in²

a =14 in

b = 22 in

Hence,

h = 2 × 216/14 + 22

h = 12 inches

The height of the trapezoid = 12 inches

Find equivalent ways to rewrite the expression 6a^8÷3a^4

solong [7]

Answer:

6a^8/3a^4= (6/3)= 2

a^8/a^4= a^4

2a^4

(6/3)(a^8/a^4)= 2a^4

(6/3)(a^(8-4))= 2a^4

Ben jogged 4 and 1/2 miles in 1 and 1/4 hours at a constant rate. How far did Ben jog in one hour? *

Mrac [35]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then proceed.

$\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{9}{2}&\frac{5}{4}\\[1em] x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~ \frac{5}{4}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{5}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{9}{2x}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 36=10x\implies \cfrac{36}{10}=x\implies \cfrac{18}{5}=x\implies 3\frac{3}{5}=x$

Three solutions for the linear equation 4 −3 = 1.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

(1, 1), (2, 2.333) and (3, 3.666).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, for x = 1, we have:

4*1 - 3y = 1

3y = 3

y = 1

For x = 2, we have:

4*2 - 3y = 1

3y = 7

y = 2.333

For x = 3, we have:

4*3 - 3y = 1

3y = 11

y = 3.666

The points we need to plot is (1, 1), (2, 2.333) and (3, 3.666).
