Answer: The correct option is (B) 56 in².

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the area of the trapezoid ABCD shown in the figure.

We know that

AREA of a trapezoid with length of the parallel sides a units, b units and height h units is given by

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}(a+b)h.$

For the given trapezoid ABCD, we have

a = AB = 6 in, b = CD = 22 in and height, h = 4 in.

Therefore, the AREA of trapezoid ABCD is given by

$A\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(a+b)h\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(6+22)\times4\\\\=2\times28\\\\=56~\textup{in}^2.$

Thus, the required area of the trapezoid ABCD is 56 in².

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Line g passes through points (5, 9) and (3, 2). Line h passes through points (9, 10) and (2, 12). Are line g and line h parallel

icang [17]

For this case we find the slopes of each of the lines:

The g line passes through the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5,9)$

So, the slope is:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {9-2} {5-3} = \frac {7} {2}$

Line h passes through the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 9,10)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 2,12)$

So, the slope is:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}}{x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {12-10} {2-9} = \frac {2} {- 7} = - \frac {2} {7}$

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. If the lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

It is observed that lines g and h are not parallel. We verify if they are perpendicular:

$\frac {7} {2} * - \frac {2} {7} = \frac {-14} {14} = - 1$

Thus, the lines are perpendicular.

Answer:

The lines are perpendicular.

labwork [276]

Answer:

C = (7, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us the relation between the points is ...

(B-A)/(C-A) = 2/7

7(B -A) = 2(C -A) . . . . . . multiply by 7(C-A)

7B -7A +2A = 2C . . . . . add 2A

C = (7B -5A)/2 . . . . . . . divide by 2

C = (7(2, -4) -5(0, -8))/2 = (14, 12)/2 . . . . . fill in the values of A and B

C = (7, 6)
