Q4. The area of a trapezium is 45 cm2

and the perpendicular distance
between its parallel sides is 5 cm. If the length of one of its parallel sides is
6cm, find the length of the other parallel side.

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = ½(6 + x) × 5

6 + x = 18

x = 12

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
