<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
Graph B consists of a parabola that opens downward. If a parabola opens downward, the the coefficient of x will be negative.
<h2>More details:</h2>
There is an easy way to tell whether the graph of a quadratic function opens upward or downward: if the leading coefficient is greater than zero, the parabola opens upward, and if the leading coefficient is less than zero, the parabola opens downward.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(a)
Shortest Side of the trapezoid =6 yds
Longest Side =8 yds
(b)42 Square Yards
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
In the Trapezoid, Width =6 yd
Since the shortest side of the playground and its width have the same dimension, then:
- Shortest Side of the trapezoid =6 yd
<u>Part B</u>
Area of the Playground
In the trapezoid
a=6 yd, b=8 yd, h=Width=6 yd
Area of a trapezoid

1. 84 = 1 x 84
2. 84 = 2 x 42
3. 84 = 3 x 28
4. 84 = 4 x 21
5. 84 = 6 x 14
6. 85 = 7 x 12
Hope this helps!
