Which figure has the same area as the parallelogram shown below? A. A triangle with a base of 4 mm and a height of 20 mm B. A tr

Arisa [49]

<h2>Answer: A trapezoid with bases of 6 mm and 14 mm and a height of 8 mm </h2>

The parallelogram in the figure has an area of $80mm^{2}$ , according to the following formula, which works for all rectangles and parallelograms:

$A_{parallelogram}=(b)(h)$ (1)

Where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height

The<u> area of a triangle</u> is given by the following formula:

$A_{triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$ (2)

So, for option A:

$A_{triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(4mm)(20mm)=40mm^{2} \neq 80mm^{2}$

Now, the <u>area of a trapezoid </u>is:

$A_{trapezoid}=\frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+ b_{2})(h)$ (3)

For option B:

$A_{trapezoid}=\frac{1}{2}(15mm+25mm)(2 mm)=40mm^{2} \neq 80mm^{2}$

For option C:

$A_{trapezoid}=\frac{1}{2}(6mm+14mm)(8 mm)=80mm^{2}$ >>>>This is the correct option!

For option D:

$A_{rectangle}=(30mm)(8mm)=240mm^{2} \neq 80mm^{2}$

<h2>Therefore the correct option is C</h2>

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!! Explain how you will benefit most from improving your math skills.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Some of the most lucrative jobs are all about math. Most engineering fields are all about sharp math skills, whether it’s civil and mechanical or software engineering. Working in finance also obviously involves a lot of math, and what better way to make money than working in the field that’s all about money? You can also become a statistician or actuary; it’s not easy to find good statisticians, despite the need for them. If you want to earn good money, then you do need good math skills.Then again, you could use math in life anyway.

The sum of 2 numbers is 50. the second number is 5 times the first. what is the number.

sp2606 [1]

Let the first and smaller number be x. Since the second number is 5 times the first, the second number is 5x. We also know both of these numbers must add to 50; thus, we can create the following equation.

$x+5x=50$

Combine like terms

$6x = 50$

Divide both sides by 6

$x = 50/6 = 25/3 \approx 8.333$

This is the value of the first number. The number you're looking for isn't specified in the question description, so I'll just provide the value of the second number. The second number has to be 5 times the first.

Thus, we just multiply 5 to x.

$5x = 5(25/3) = 125/3 \approx 41.667$

That's the value of the second number.
