Midsegment = 1/2(base1 + base2)

EF = 1/2(AB + CD)

EF = 1/2(20 + 12)

EF = 1/2(32)

EF = 16

Answer

EF = 16

Answer:

The length of the mid-segment EF is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise the main idea is to know the formula for the mid-segment of a trapezoid. This formula should be well known because it is used to find the area of a trapezoid.

If we denote the mid-segment of a trapezoid as m, the larger basis as B and the smaller basis as b, the formula states:

m = \frac{B+b}{2}.

In this particular exercise m=EF, B=AB and b=DC.

Thus,

EF = \frac{DC + AB}{2} = \frac{20+12}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16.

If f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x squared minus 3 x plus 5 , then f left parenthesis 4 right parenthesis equals
lord [1]

Answer:

f(4) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x squared minus 3 x plus 5

f(x) = x² - 3x + 5

f left parenthesis 4 right parenthesis equals

f(4) =

f(x) = x² - 3x + 5

When x = 4

f(4) = 4² - 3(4) + 5

= 16 - 12 + 5

= 9

f(4) = 9

7) A real number that is less than zero. These represent opposites.
enot [183]

Answer:

A negative number

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this is right. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left.In the context of negative numbers, a number that is greater than zero is referred to as positive. Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Meghan should use positive integers to represent income. Income is money that flows into the business, and it is always positive. The higher the income, the more money a business will have.

On the other hand, expenses must be represented by negative integers. Expenses are money that flows out of a business, and is always negative. The higher the expenses, the less money the business will have. Expenses reduce a business's net income.

9. Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
timurjin [86]

Answer:

  y -11 = 2(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is the x-coefficient: 2. The parallel line will have the same slope.

When you know the slope and a point on the line, it is convenient to use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your line's equation is ...

  y -11 = 2(x -3)
