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

A sinusoidal function whose period is 4π, maximum value is 6, and minimum value is -2 has a y intercept of 6. What is the equati
IRINA_888 [86]

Equation of the function: f(x) = 4 sin (x/2) + 6.

<h3>What is sinusoidal function ?</h3>

The term sinusoidal is used to describe a curve, referred to as a sine wave or a sinusoid, that exhibits smooth, periodic oscillation. It is named based on the function y=sin(x).

Given: max value= 6, min value= -2, y-intercept= 6.

As, standard form f(x) = A sin (ωx +φ) + k,

where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular velocity with ω=2πf.

Now,

A = |6- (-2)/2|

A = |6 +2/2| = 8/2

A = 4

Also, ω:

The period of a sinusoidal is T = 1/f

so, f = 1 / T

ω = 2πf

ω = 2π ( 1/T) with T = 4π

ω = 2π (1/(4π) = 2π (2)

ω = 1/2

The y-intercept k = 6

So, equation with values A =4, ω = 1/2, k = 6, φ = 0.

f(x) = A f(x)

f(x) = A sin (ωx +φ) + k

f(x) = 4 sin (x/2) + 6.

Hence, equation of the function f(x) = 4 sin (x/2) + 6.
