Answer:

option A. 36 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a trapezium

Area of a trapezium=1/2 *(sum of parallel sides) *height

From the diagram, the parell sides are 6 inches and 12 inches ,and the height is 4 inches.

We substitute these values into the formula.

This implies that, the area

$= \frac{1}{2}(6 + 12) \times 4$

$= \frac{1}{2}(18) \times 4$

$=9\times 4$

$= 36$

Thus the area is 36 square inches

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5) and has a slope of -8/5

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5) and has a slope of -8/5 will be:

$y=-\frac{8}{5}x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-5,5\right)$

$m=\frac{-8}{5}$

Point-Slope Form equation is

$\left(y-y_1\right)=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$\left(y-5\right)=\frac{-8}{5}\left(x-\left(-5\right)\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a$

$y-5=\frac{-8}{5}\left(x+5\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$y-5=-\frac{8}{5}\left(x+5\right)$

$y-5+5=-\frac{8}{5}\left(x+5\right)+5$

$y=-\frac{8}{5}x-3$

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5) and has a slope of -8/5 will be:

$y=-\frac{8}{5}x-3$

Segment addition postulate<br> What’s the answer?

Free_Kalibri [48]

$\bf Step-by-step~explanation:$

Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.

$\bf Step~1:$

Let's see how the line segment looks like first.

Line segment VX is 14 units long.

______________

V X

W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.

3 ?

______________

V W X

$\bf Step~2:$

We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.

We have to set up our equation like this:

x + 3 = 14

Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.

14 - 3 = 11

3 11

______________

V W X

$\large\boxed {\bf Our~final~answer: ~WX=11}$
