The plan for the Thorne’s backyard play area, shaped like a trapezoid, is shown. The area of the play area is 286.56 square feet
1 answer:
The length of material needed for the border is the perimeter of the backyard play area
<h3>How to calculate the length of material needed </h3>The area of the play area is given as:
The area of a trapezoid is calculated using:
Where L1 and L2, are the parallel sides of the trapezoid and H represents the height.
The given parameter is not enough to solve the length of material needed.
So, we make use of the following assumed values.
Assume that the parallel sides are: 25 feet and 31 feet long, respectively.
While the other sides are 10.2 feet and 8.2 feet
The length of material needed would be the sum of the above lengths.
So, we have:
Using the assumed values, the length of material needed for the border is 74.4 feet

The inverse of this function would be f(x) = .
You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.
f(x) = - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x
x = - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides
x + 6 = -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent
Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2
= f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.
f(x) =
And that would be your new inverse function.
