the area of a trapezium is 14.7cmsquare. if the parallel sides are 5.3cm and 3.1cm long,find the perpendicular distance between them

Answers

Answer 1

The perpendicular distance of the trapezoid is 3.5 cm

How to determine the perpendicular distance?

The given parameters are:

Parallel sides = 5.3 cm and 3.1 cmArea = 14.7 square cm

The area of a trapezoid is:

Area = 0.5 * (Sum of parallel sides) * perpendicular distance

So, we have:

14.7 = 0.5 *(5.3 + 3.1) * perpendicular distance

Evaluate

Perpendicular distance = 3.5

Hence, the perpendicular distance of the trapezoid is 3.5 cm

Of the 40 specimens of bacteria in a dish, 3 specimens have a certain trait. If 5 specimens are to be selected from the dish at random and without replacement, which of the following represents the probability that only 1 of the 5 specimens selected will have the trait?1) (5/1)/(40/3)
2) (5/1)/(40/5)
3) (40/3)/(40/5)
4) (3/1)(37/4)/(40/3)
5) (3/1)(37/4)/(40/5)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{(^3_1)*(^{37}_4)}{(^{40}_5)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways in which 5 specimens can be selected from the  dish at random is given as C(40, 5).

Since only one of the five specimens would have the trait, the number of ways of selecting the one specimen out of the 3 specimens with the trait is C(3, 1).

3 specimens have the trait therefore 37 specimens (40 - 3) do not have the trait. The number of ways in which the remaining 4 specimens out of the 5 spemimens that do not have the trait is C(37, 4).

Therefore, the probability that only 1 of the 5 specimens selected will have the trait = [tex]\frac{C(3,1)*C(37,4)}{C(40,5)} =\frac{(^3_1)*(^{37}_4)}{(^{40}_5)}[/tex]

1.The total area of the square and rectangular areas together is 2,700 square yards. Write an equation that represents this situation.

2. Use your equation from part a to find the dimensions of the roped-off rectangular area.

please help so i can pass my class!!

Answers

Answer:

1) x²+4x=2700

2) 50x50

Step-by-step explanation:

Pony area = x²

line-up area=4x

x²+4x=2700

x²+4x-2700=0

(x-50)(x+54)

So x= 50 or -54.  Since it can’t be a negative number, it must be 50.

CHECK:

Square = 50x50 = 2500

Line up area = 50x4 = 200

2500+200=2700 YES

Given the following three points, find by hand the quadratic function they represent.

O f(x) = -3.2? + 4.1 - 1
Of(t) = -202 + 5x - 1
Of(1) = -3.1? + 10.1 - 1​

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-1, -8), (0, -1), (1, 2), we have;

The general quadratic function;

f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c

From the given points, when x = -1, y = -8, which gives

-8 = a·(-1)² + b·(-1) + c = a - b + c

-8 =  a - b + c.....................................(1)

When x = 0, y = -1, which gives;

-1 = a·0² + b·0 + c = c

c = -1.....................................................(2)

When x = 1, y = 2, which gives;

2 = a·1² + b·1 + c = a + b + c...............(3)

Adding equation (1) to (3), gives;

-8 + 2 = a - b + c + a + b + c

-6 = 2·a + 2·c

From equation (2), c = -1, therefore;

-6 = 2·a + 2×(-1)

-2·a  = 2×(-1)+6 = -2 + 6 = 4

-2·a = 4

a = 4/-2 = -2

a = -2

From equation (1), we have;

-8 =  a - b + c = -2 - b - 1 = -3 - b

-8 + 3 = -b

-5 = -b

b = 5

The equation is therefore;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1

The correct option is f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1.

the perimeters of two squares are 60 meters and 144 meters respectively. find the perimeter of another square equal in area to the sum of the first two squares

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of first square = 4 × side = 60 m

∴ side = 60/4 = 15 m

so area = s × s = 15 × 15 = 225 m^2

perimeter of second square = 4 × side = 144 m

∴ side = 144/4 = 36 m

so area = s × s = 36 × 36 = 1296 m^2

Perimeter of the third square = sum of areas of the first and second triangle

= 225 + 1296

= 1521 m

hope this helps

plz mark as brainliest!!!!!

Answer:

Perimeter of new square =  156 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First square:

 Perimeter = 60 m

 4 * side = 60 m

side = 60/4

side = 15 m

Area of first square = side * side = 15 * 15 = 225 m²

Second square:

 Perimeter = 144 m

 4 * side = 144 m

side = 144/4

side = 36 m

Area of second square = side * side = 36 * 36 = 1296 m²

New square:

Area of new square = area of first square + area of second square

                                  = 225 + 129

Area of new square = 1521 m²

   side * side = 1521

    side = √1521 = √39*39

     side = 39 m

Perimeter of new square = 4 * 39 = 156 m

The digits of a 2 digit number differ by 3. Is the digits are interchanged, and the resulting number is added to the original number, we get 143. What can be the number?

Answers

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's note the two digits a and b. the first number 'ab' can be written as 10a +b. For instance if this is 24 it can be written 20 + 4.

If the digits are interchanged the number become 'ba' so 10b + a

We can say that 10a + b + 10b + a = 143

11(a+b)=143

We divide by 13 both sides and we take

a+b = 143/11 = 13

and we know that the digits differ by 3 so b = a + 3

then a + b = a + 3 + a = 2a + 3 = 13

so 2a = 10 and then a = 5

Finally, b = 5+3=8 so the number is 58.

And we can verify that 58 + 85 = 143.

Thanks

Answer:

Let the unit digit be x and tens digit be x + 3

Therefore, the original number = 10(x + 3) + x

On interchanging, the number formed = 10x + x + 3

❍ According to Question now,

➥ 10(x + 3) + x + 10x + x + 3 = 143

➥ 10x + 30 + 12x + 3 = 143

➥ 22x + 33 = 143

➥ 22x = 143 - 33

➥ 22x = 110

➥ x = 110/22

x = 5

__________________...

Therefore,

The unit digit number = x = 5

The tens digit number = x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

__________________...

The original number = 10(x + 3) + x

The original number = 10(5 + 3) + 5

The original number = 50 + 30 + 5

The original number = 85

Hence,the original number is 85.

simplfy the given equation using the distributive property 5x + 2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)

Answers

Answer:

     x = [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 (x - 3) = -2 (x - 1)

  5x + 2x - 6 = -2x +2

5x + 2x + 2x = 2 + 6

               9x = 8

                 x = [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

The value of x in the given equation is 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)

Distribute 2 to (x - 3)

5x + 2x - 6 = -2(x - 1)

Distribute 2 to (x - 1)

5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2

Combine 5x and 2x on the left side of the equation.

7x - 6 = -2x + 2

Add 6 on both side of the equation.

7x = -2x + 8

Add 2x on both sides of the equation.

9x = 8

Now divide 9 from 8. Make sure you round the decimal because the quotient of these numbers is a repeating decimal.

x = 0.89

So, the value of x is 0.89

jessica weighs x+34 pounds and Ronda weighs 12 pounds less. If Jessica gains 5 pounds and Ronda loses 2 pounds, what is the sum of their new heights.

Answers

Answer:

2x+59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J represent Jessica's weight and R represent Ronda's weight.

Jessica weighs x+34 pounds. Thus:

[tex]J=x+34[/tex]

Ronda weighs 12 pounds less than Jessica. In other words:

[tex]R=J-12=(x+34)-12\\R=x+22[/tex]

The sum of their weights, therefore, is:

[tex]J+R\\=(x+34)+(x+22)=2x+56[/tex]

Now, if Jessica gains 5 pounds and Ronda loses 2 pounds, the net gain of the total weight would be 3 pounds. Thus, we only need to add 3 to the original total to find the sum of their new weights:

[tex]2x+56+3=2x+59[/tex]

The sum of the new [weights] is represented by 2x+59.

B is the midpoint of AC. What is the value of x if AC = 52 and AB = 3x - 4

Answers

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC then AB = BC = 3x - 4 and

AB + BC = AC , thus

3x - 4 + 3x - 4 = 52, that is

6x - 8 = 52 ( add 8 to both sides )

6x = 60 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 10

on a map the distance between rip and Janeiro Brazil and San Jose Costa Rica is 4 inches.the scale on the map shows that 1 inch=200 miles ,or if you write it as a ratio.. how would set up a proportion if you want to figure out how many miles it is form Rio de Janeiro to San jose.?

Answers

Answer:

The way a proportion is set is as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}[/tex]

The Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica is then found as  800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the distance between Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 4 inches

The map scale = 1 inch to 200 miles

To figure out how many miles it is or the actual distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

(4 inches × 200 miles)/(1 inche) = Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica

Which gives;

Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 800 miles.
