To form a linear pair means that when added, they equal 180 degrees.
but if they have equal measures....180/2 = 90...then they would both equal 90 degrees.....and 90 degrees is a right angle.
So ABC and CBD are both right angles
The answer should be n= 1500
9514 1404 393
Answer:
38 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. That means it is a trapezoid, so the area formula for a trapezoid is applicable.
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
The two parallel bases are 7 in and 12 in. The height is the perpendicular distance between them, 4 in. So, the area is ...
A = (1/2)(7 in +12 in)(4 in) = (1/2)(19 in)(4 in)
A = 38 in²
The area of the trapezoid is 38 square inches.
