AB=48, DC=88
48+88=136
136÷2=68
Answer: LM=68
Remember that the length of the mid segment in a trapezoid is half the sum of the base lengths.
first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.
let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

Binomial is the correct type of polynomial for this problem
We add up all those numbers (excluding 30) and divide by the number of numbers (9). This results in 78.8 (round up to 79).
79-74 = 5. So the mean has increased by 5 points. (C)
2/72 = 36
2/36 = 18
2/18 = 9
3/9 = 3
3/3 = 1
so now as you can see we have 3 number which is divided by 2 and 2 numbers which is divided by 3. so it becomes, 3*2√2 = 6√2 is final answer.
