Answer: The value of x in trapezoid ABCD is 15
Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid as described in the question has two bases which are AB and DC and these are parallel. Also it has sides AD and BC described as congruent (that is, equal in length or measurement). These descriptions makes trapezoid ABCD an isosceles trapezoid.
One of the properties of an isosceles trapezoid is that the angles on either side of the two bases are equal. Since line AD is equal to line BC, then angle D is equal to angle C. It also implies that angle A is equal to angle B.
With that bit of information we can conclude that the angles in the trapezoid are identified as 3x, 3x, 9x and 9x.
Also the sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 360. We can now express this as follows;
3x + 3x + 9x + 9x = 360
24x = 360
Divide both sides of the equation by 24
x = 15
Therefore, in trapezoid ABCD
x = 15
The sum of the 18 numbers is 22.5 x 18 = 405.
Let the numbers be x, x + 1, x + 2, . . ., x + 17
Sum of n term of an arithmetic sequence = n/2(a + l)
18/2(x + x + 17) = 405
9(2x + 17) = 405
2x + 17 = 405/9 = 45
2x = 45 - 17 = 28
x = 28/2 = 14
Therefore, the smallest integer is 14.
Average rate of change = [H(100) - H(80)] / (100 - 80)
H(100) = 0.003(100)^2 + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 0.003(10000) + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 30 + 7 - 0.027 = 36.973
H(80) = 0.003(80)^2 + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 0.003(6400) + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 19.2 + 5.6 - 0.027 = 24.773
Average rate of change = (36.973 - 24.773)/(100 - 80) = 12.2/20 = 0.61
Answer: B
Let x be the original cost for the sofa.
X x (1 + 0.07) =3210
X = 3000
Now we know the cost for the sofa.
Let p be the profit percent.
3000 x (1 + p) = 3360
P = 0.12
So the percentage profit is 12%
