Remark
This is quite a nice little problem. It takes a minute or three to figure out the answer, and when you do, you will be certain that you have been tricked. It is a little like the egg of Columbus.
Solution
The Base of Triangle ABN is AB
The Base of Triangle CDM is CD
The height of both given triangles is h. That is the distance between the two parallel lines.
Area ABN = 1/2*AB * h = 23 cm^2
Area CDM = 1/2*CD * h = 18 cm^2
Now the Area of the trapezoid is
Area_Trapezoid = 1/2 * h (AB + CD) Using the distributive property Remove the brackets.
Area_Trapezoid = 1/2*AB*h + 1/2*CD*h Did you notice something? Those terms are just the area of the triangles (written above.)
Area Trapezoid = 23 + 18 = 41 cm^2 <<<< Answer
Answer:
add them up

Answer:
Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
4x−8=2(2x−3)
We will try to translate the given equation in English.
We can see that the variable used is only one. On the left hand side of the equation 8 is being subtracted from 4 times of the variable and on the right hand side 3 is being subtracted from 2 times of variable and then being multiplied by two.
From the given option, correct answer is:
Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of parallel lines are the same. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, hence their product is -1.
___
For the most part, the concept of adding slopes of lines does not relate to parallel or perpendicular lines in any way.
