Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezium is the average of the parallel sides times the distance between them.
If we subtract 15 units from each of the parallel sides, we end up with a triangle that has two sides of 8 units and one of 10 units. One of the 8 unit sides is the base and we need to find the height h which is perpendicular to this base.
Let the base be split into two segments, call one A, the other will be 8 - A
From Pythagoras.
10² - A² = h² = 8² - (8 - A)²
10² - A² = 8² - (8 - A)²
100 - A² = 64 - (64 - 16A + A²)
100 - A² = 64 - 64 + 16A - A²
100 = 16A
A = 6.25
h = √(10² - 6.25²)
h = √60.9375
A = ½(15 + 23)√60.9375
A = 148.31870246... ≈ 148.3 cm²
Answer:
the length of the conjugate axis is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the general equation of a hyperbola with transverse horizontal axis has the form:
Where the point (h, k) are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse
2a is the length of the transverse horizontal axis
2b is the length of the conjugate axis
In this case the equation of the ellipse is:
Then
Finally the length of the conjugate axis is 16
