In trapezium abcd, as shown in the figure, ab is parallel to dc, ad=dc=bc=20cm and ‹a=60°. find: (i) length of ab (ii) distance between ab and dc

AB = 40 cm

Distance = cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw two heights DE and CF. These heights together with bases of trapezoid form rectangle DEFC. In this rectangle, DC=EF=20 cm.

Consider right triangle ADE. In this triangle, angle ADE has the measure of 30° (the sum of the measures of all interior angles is always 180°, so m∠ADE=180°-60°-90°=30°)

Leg opposite to 30° angle is equal to half of the hypotenuse, so

Similarly, in triangle CBF, BF=10 cm.

Hence,

The height of the trapezoid (the second leg of triangle ADE) is the distance between DC and AB. By the Pythagorean theorem,

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
