Find the area of this trapezoid.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number 16 only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=h(a+b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i know that part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i am missing some info

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h=8sin30 a=9 b=9+8cos30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would it be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said you know the rest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to plug it in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area= h(a+b)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo give me like 2 seconds and you can check my work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i do 8sin30 i get a neg.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the value of sin30?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get -0.988

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use degrees, not radians in your calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

google sin30 and you'll get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, right do the same for cos30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.866

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm. not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

52.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
