Here, we are required to determine the point where point H lie on the number line.

The point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.

The distance between point F and G on the number line is:

4 - (-2) = 6 numbers on the number line.

And since the ratio of FH to HG is 3:9

  • Then, let point H be at no. X on the number line.

Therefore; FH/HG = (4 - x)/(x - (-2))

i.e 3/9 = (4 - x)/ (x +2).

By cross multiplication, 3x + 6 = 36 - 9x.

Therefore, 12x = 30

and, x = 2.5

Therefore, the point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.

The formula for a trapezoid relates the area A, the two bases, a and b, and the height, h. A=h ( a+b ) 2 Solve for b.
Lelu [443]
I believe the right equation for determining the area of a trapezoid is as below,
     A = h(a + b)/2

To determine the expression for b which is the length of one of its bases, we multiply the equation by 2.
    
    2A = h(a + b)

Then, divide both sides of the equation by h,

    2A/h = a + b

Then, subtract a from both sides of the equation,
    2A/h - a = b

Lastly, interchange the sides of the equation to reveal the answer.
<em>     </em>
<em>   b = 2A/h - a </em>
