Mathematics

Dmitriy789 [7]2 years ago
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 -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

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

A=160 cm²

<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>

<em>Note</em> 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"

so

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

<em>Verify Tara's work</em>

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

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Point b has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle whose equation is x^2 + y^2= 25. If angle is drawn in a standard position
lakkis [162]
<span>Point B has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle. Draw the perpendiculars from point B to the x-axis and y-axis. Denote the points of intersection with x-axis A and with y-axis C. Consider the right triangle ABO (O is the origin), by tha conditions data: AB=4 and AO=3, then by Pythagorean theorem:
</span>
<span>BO^2=AO^2+AB^2 \\ BO^2=3^2+4^2  \\ BO^2=9+16  \\ BO^2=25  \\ BO=5.
</span>
{Note, that BO is a radius of circle and it wasn't necessarily to use Pythagorean theorem to find BO}
<span>The sine of the angle BOA is</span>
\sin \angle BOA= \dfrac{AB}{BO} = \dfrac{4}{5} =0.8

Since point B is placed in the IV quadrant, the sine of the angle that is <span> drawn in a standard position with its terminal ray will be </span>

Today, the Great Pyramid at Giza near Cairo, Egypt stands 137 meters tall, coming to a point.Its base is a square with each side
Vlad1618 [11]
Hope you can see the picture and understand the drawings.

It can seem complex at first but you just have to think it through. 

I use pythagoras' theorem to find the diagonal of the base square and then use that information along with the height with the aid of that ever so handy pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the slope.
