5 0

Answer:

Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h

we have

b1=16 cm

b2=24 cm

h=8 cm -----> Note The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

A=(1/2)[16+24](8)

A=160 cm²

Verify Scott 's work

Note Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)

Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

Verify Tara's work

Note Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

$2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12$

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

$\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}$

$4\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number.

Third expression is

$7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21$

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

$\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5$

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

The intersection of two planes can be a point.

gregori [183]

No

If two planes intersect each other, the intersection will always be a line. where r 0 r_0 r0 is a point on the line and v is the vector result of the cross product of the normal vectors of the two planes.

Which of the following is true regarding the solutions to the logarithmic equation below? 2 log Subscript 6 Baseline (x) = 2. lo

Serggg [28]

Option c: x=6 is a true solution and x=-6 is an extraneous solution.

Explanation:

The equation is $2 \log _{6} x=2$

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get,

$\frac{2 \log _{6}(x)}{2}=\frac{2}{2}$

Simplifying,

$\log _{6}(x)=1$

Since, we know by the logarithmic definition, if $\log _{a}(b)=c$ , then $b=a^{c}$

Using this definition, we have,

$x=6^{1}$

Hence, $x=6$

Now, let us verify if $x=6$ is the solution.

Substitute $x=6$ in the equation $2 \log _{6} x=2$ to see whether both sides of the equation are true.

We have,

$2 \log _{6}(6)$

Using the log rule, $\log _{a}(a)=1$

We have,

$2*1=2$

Hence, both sides of the equation are equal.

Thus, $x=6$ is the true solution.
