whats the question and your answer

OpenStudy (narissa):

its right before u asked me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the height is 13 not 81

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1427239010297:dw| thus \(\bf area = \cfrac{h}{2}(a+b)\qquad \begin{cases} a=9\\b=16\\ area = 75 \end{cases}\implies 75=\cfrac{h}{2}(9+16)\) solve for "h"

OpenStudy (narissa):

oops i meant 18 but wasnt right anyway r u sure its 13?

OpenStudy (narissa):

so its 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it =74.5 then you round

OpenStudy (narissa):

huh 75?

OpenStudy (narissa):

im confused im glad this is the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the height is 13 cause when you do 9+16*13/2 you get 74.5 then you round because 5 and up you round to the nearest number

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it says 75 for the area in the material, thus

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so.. if you solve that for "h", what would that give you?

OpenStudy (narissa):

im just confused thank both of u for your help i dont understand

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

you're given the area, and the bases of the trapezoid so you'd need to find the height "h"

OpenStudy (narissa):

9=16 divided 2 is 17 so i dont know

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

9=16?

OpenStudy (narissa):

oops 9+16 bivided by 2 is 17

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

clearly not =)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm 9+16 divided by 2 is 17? hmm so 2 * 17 = 9+16? because 2* 17 = 34 and I don't think 9+16 is 34 though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 13 trust me
