Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a trapezoid, where the length of shorter base or on of the parllel line is 16 cm and the length of other parallel side is 24 cm.

Let the two parallel sides be x and y that is x = 16 cm and y = 24 cm.

A median of a trapezoid is a line segment that divides the non parallel sides of a trapezoid equally or a line segment that passes through the mid points of non-parallel sides of a trapezoid.

The length of median of a trapezoid = $\frac{\text{Sum of parallel sides}}{2}$ = $\frac{16+24}{2}$ = 20 cm.

Thus, the length of median of trapezoid is 20 cm.

Find the inverse of y=x2-10x

anzhelika [568]

this is pretty hard but here is your answer

y = x^2 - 10x + 25 - 25

y = (x-5)^2 - 25

y+25 = (x-5)^2

x-5 = +/-sqrt(y+25)

And you get TWO inverses:

x = 5 + sqrt(y+25), for x>=5

x = 5 - sqrt(y+25), for x<=5

Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with simplifying numeric expressions. For example, compare

larisa [96]

With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.

An oblong box has a volume equal to lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. If the volume is 24 cubic f

rjkz [21]

An oblong box has a volume equal to lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. If the volume is 24 cubic feet, solve for the height in terms of the other sides.

Given:
volume of 24 cubic feet

Required:
height

Solution:
V = 24 cubic feet
assume that the length, weight and height of the box are all equal
so l = w = h

24 = l^3
l = 2.88 feet
