Answer:
540 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the trapezoid = h/2 (10 + 18) = 14h.
By Pythagoras the height h = √(5^2 - 4^2) = 3.
So the area of the 2 trapezoidal bases = 2 * 14*3
= 84 ft^2.
Now we calculate the area of the four lateral rectangular sides:
= 10*12 + 18*12 + 2*5*12
= 456 ft^2.
Total area = 456 + 54
= 540 ft^2.
82 degrees and 98 degrees
First, find the original equation
180 = (x) + (x + 16)
Simplify: 180 = 2x + 16
Next, use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 16 from both sides
180 - 16 = 2x + 16 - 16
Simplify: 164 = 2x
Then, you can use the division property of equality to find the value of x
164/2 = 2x/2
Simplify: 82 = x
Now, we know that the first angle equals 82 degrees and that the second angle equals 98 degrees
A + m = 54, m = a + 4 and, a + m = 54, - a + m = 4,
Combine the equations: 2m = 58
Now solve: 2m = 58, 2m/2 = 58/2, m = 29, therefore a = 24
Question 1:
<h3>Answer: The number does <u>not</u> change</h3>
Removing the zero from 0.76 leads to .76 which is the same as before. Both lead to 
in scientific notation.
Personally I prefer the zero up front to make the decimal point stand out easier. Of course it's just a preference, so its up to you to decide which you prefer.
===========================================
Question 2:
<h3>Answer: Yes the number changes</h3>
Taking the zero out of 10.25 leads to 1.25 which is definitely a different number (and smaller). Therefore, this zero is a significant digit compared to before.
