A triangle and trapezoid share a 15 inch base and a height of 10 inches. For what values of b is the area of the trapezoid less than twice the area of the triangle?
Answered by Steve
10(b+15)/2 <= 2 * 10*15/2
b+15 <= 30
b <= 15

Just FYI: a triangle with base b is just a special case of a trapezoid, where the top base is zero. The average of the bases is just b/2

The triangle and the trapezoid share a 15-inch base and a height of 10 inches.



a. The area of the trapezoid is less than twice the area of the triangle. Find the values of x. Explain your reasoning.

x>
and x<
inches


Question 2
For x= 15 inches, the area of the trapezoid is twice the area of the triangle, so x must be less than 15 inches.

b. Can the area of the trapezoid be exactly twice the area of the triangle? Explain your reasoning.

no; When x = 15 inches, the quadrilateral is a rectangle, not a trapezoid.
