from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.

likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so

$\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=8.5\\ a=24.3\\ b=9.7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{8.5(24.3+9.7)}{2}\\\\ A=\cfrac{8.5(34)}{2}\implies A=144.5~in^2 \end{array}$

If lateral surface area of cube is double then the ratio of volume of new cube to original cube

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area ratio is the square of the side length ratio, so the ratio of side lengths is √2.

The volume ratio is the cube of the side length ratio, so the new cube has a volume that is (√2)³ times that of the original.

The volume ratio is 2√2.

A trapezoid with bases that measure 8 inches and 11 inches has a height of 3 inches. What is the area of the trapezoid?

gavmur [86]

Area= 1/2(height)×(base↓1+base↓2)
Area=1/2(3)×(8+11)
Area=1/2(3)×(19)
Area=1/2(57)
Area=57/2 OR 28.5
Thus, the area of the trapezium is 28.5inches^2

The formula for the surface area of a sphere is 4πr^2

This can be used in the following way, getting the diameter at 18.3:
18.3/2 = 9.15
Saying PI is 3.14 you can do this:

SA = 4*3.14*9.15^2 = 1051.6 m^2

Formula for volume is:
(4/3)πr^3

V = (4/3)*3.14*9.15^3 = 3207.2 m^3
