Alot is in the shape of a trapezoid. the sum of the bases is 280 feet. if the area of the lot is 8,400 square feet, what is the distance across the lot, i. e., the altitude of the figure? the altitude of the trapezoid is feet.

The altitude of the trapezoid is 60 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trapezoid

Sum of the bases: B+b=280 feet

Area of the trapezoid: A=8,400 feet^2

Altitude of the trapezoid: h=?

The formula to calculate the area of a Trapezoid is:

A = (1/2) (B+b) h

Replacing the given values:

8,400 feet^2 = (1/2) (280 feet) h

(1/2) (280 feet) = (140 feet)

8,400 feet^2 = (140 feet) h

Solving for h: Dividing both sides of the equation by 140 feet:

8,400 feet^2 / (140 feet) = (140 feet) h / (140 feet)

60 feet = h

h = 60 feet

The altitude of the trapezoid is 60 feet.

three-fourths of an hour

36÷48=0.75

0.75=

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
