Check the picture below.

now, we know that the slanted legs are congruent, since it's an isosceles trapezoid, we also know that the bases are the parallel sides, so, the "altitude" or distance from those bases are the same length, for each of those triangles in the picture.

now, the bases are parallel, that means the altitude segment is perpendicular to the base, the longest side at the bottom, so, we end up with a right-triangle that has a Hypotenuse and a Leg, equal to the other triangle's.

thus, by the HL theorem for right triangles, both of those triangles are congruent, and if the triangles are congruent, all their sides are also, including the ones on the base.

Find the degree of the polynomial<br> 2x^4y^2+9x^2y^5-3x^4y^4
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

the polynomial has degree 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term (the term with largest degree). Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.

So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.

1) term  2\,x^4\,y^2  contains four variables "x" and two variables "y", so a total of six. Then its degree is: 6

2) term  9\,x^2\,y^5  contains two variables "x" and five variables "y", so a total of seven. Then its degree is: 7

3) term  -3\,x^4\,y^4  contains four variables "x" and four variables "y", so a total of eight. Then its degree is: 8

This last term is therefore the leading term of the polynomial (the term with largest degree) and the one that gives the degree to the entire polynomial.
