we know that

The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid, and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.

In this problem

the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid are AD and BC

Step 1

Find the midpoint side AD

Let

E-------> the midpoint AD

A(2,4)\ D(-2,-1)

Find the x-coordinate of the midpoint AD

x=\frac{2-2}{2}=0

Find the y-coordinate of the midpoint AD

y=\frac{4-1}{2}=1.5

the point E is equal to (0,1.5)

Step 2

Find the midpoint side BC

Let

F-------> the midpoint BC

B(7,4)\ C(9,-1)

Find the x-coordinate of the midpoint BC

x=\frac{9+7}{2}=8

Find the y-coordinate of the midpoint BC

y=\frac{4-1}{2}=1.5

the point F is equal to (8,1.5)

Step 3

Find the distance EF

we know that

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

we have

E(0,1.5)\ F(8,1.5)

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(1.5-1.5)^{2}+(8-0)^{2}}

d=8\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid is 8\ units

I believe it is 8 because EF= \frac{AB+CD}{2} = EF= \frac{5+11}{2} =8

(-6x3-4x2-8)+(x3-x2-9x+4) add together and simply
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

-5x³ -5x² -9x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6x³-4x²-8)+(x³-x²-9x+4)

Add the like terms.

-6x³ and x³ are like terms. -6x³ + x³ = -5x³

-4x² and -x² are like terms. -4x² - x² = -5x²

-8 and 4 are like terms. -8 + 4 = -4

-6x³-4x²-8 +x³-x²-9x+4 = -5x³ -5x² -9x - 4
