THE SEAT OF A BENCH IS IN THE SHAPE OF A TRAPEZOID WITH BASES OF 6 FEET AND 5 FEET AND A HEIGHT OF 1.5 FEET. WHAT IS THE AREA OF THE SEAT

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Area of the seat = 8.25 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the Seat of a bench is given to be in a trapezoid.

So, in order to find the area of the seat, we apply the formula to find the area of the trapezoid.

Now, length of the parallel sides : a = 6 feet and b = 5 feet.

Height = 1.5 feet

$\text{Area of the trapezium = }(1)/(2)(a+b)* height\n\n\implies \text{Area of the seat = }(1)/(2)(5+6)* 1.5\n\n\implies Area = (1)/(2)* 11 * 1.5\n\n\implies Area = 8.25\text{ square feet}$

Hence, Area of the seat = 8.25 square feet

Answer 2

Answer: Your formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=1/2 (base 1 + base 2) h
so, when you plug' n' chug your equation will look like this:
A= 1/2 (6 + 5) 1.5
= 1/2 (11) 1.5 (You can actually divide by 2 instead of multiplying by 1/2)
= 8.25 ft.^2
there you go.:)

Answer: the correct answer is B and F

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle XYZ, the length of side XY is 26 mm and the length of side YZ is 37 mm. Which of the following could be the length of side XZ?A. 68 mm
B. 44 mm
C. 9 mm
D. 65 mm

Answers

A). 68
D). 65
If the third side was either of these, then (26 + 37) = 63 could not
reach between the ends of it. A triangle could not be formed.

C). 9
If the third side was this, then it could not reach between the ends
of the 26 and the 37 . . . they're always AT LEAST 11 mm apart.

B). 44
This is the ONLY one on the list that can make a triangle
along with 26 and 37.

To solve this, you can use the triangle inequality theorem: Side 1 + Side 2 must be greater than Side 3. So, plug in 26 for Side 1 and 37 for Side 2, add them
together, and see which number is smaller than 27 + 37.

#18 how would u not multiplying to find which is grater

Answers

In the first product the numerator of the fraction is greater than the denominator, therefore the fraction is greater than 1. On the other hand in the second product the numerator of the fraction is smaller than the denominator, therefore the fraction is smaller than one. That means the first product is greater than the second one.

figure out which fraction is larger first by making a mixed number:9 1/6 them find least common denominator between 6 and 10 to compare the two fractions. once you got that which numerator is larger. if that made no since sorry

24+3x=3x+3(7-1) What does x equal? Please show me how to do it I don't want the answer. (Well I do but show me how to get it also pleaz) Lease help this is due tomorrow!

Answers

24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract 3x from each side: 24 = 18

Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
