Short Answers (Explanation in next section below)

Reason A: Distributive Property

Reason B: Additive Property of Equality

Reason C: Combine like terms

Reason D: Additive Identity Property

----------------------------------------------------------

Further Explanation:

Reason A: The distributive property is the idea where we multiply a number by a block of values inside a parenthesis. In this case we have 3 outside the parenthesis multiplied by the x inside and the -4 inside as well. So 3 times x = 3x and 3 times -4 = -12 indicating that 3*(x-4) = 3*x+3*(-4) = 3x-12. Be sure to multiply the outer 3 by EVERY term inside the parenthesis. Often it is easy to forget a term inside.

Reason B: We are adding 12 to both sides. The goal is to have the -12 go away. Notice in the next line -12+12 = 0 which is effectively canceled out. Adding the same value to both sides is the Additive Property of Equality. It must be done to both sides to balance things out. The general rule is that if a = b, then a+c = b+c. We have added c to both sides.

Reason C: We just do arithmetic here. On the left side -12+12 turns into 0. On the right side 33+12 turns into 45. This is considered "combine like terms" as all of these terms have something in common: they don't have variables attached to them. Which is why they are common or like terms

Reason D: The additive identity property says that adding 0 to anything leads to the same thing as before. For example, adding zero to 5 gets us 5+0 = 5. Nothing has changed, which is what we expect. That's why 3x+0 turns into 3x. At this point, the -12 a few steps prior has been canceled out. In general, the additive identity property is x+0 = x or 0+x = x

In trapezoid ABCD, points M and N are arbitrary points on bases AB and CD respectively. Find the area of the trapezoid, if area
mel-nik [20]

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

The area of the base of a prism is 21 cm2. The perimeter of the base is 20 cm. The height of the prism is 8 cm.
mart [117]
The lateral area of the prism equals to height * perimeter of the base. So the lateral area is 160 cm2. And the surface area of the prism equals to the area of the base*2+the lateral area= 202 cm2.
