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

-BARSIC- [3]

The inequality \mathrm{b} \geq \frac{\text { total number of travelers }}{\text { capacity of each bus }} gives the least number of buses, b, needed for the trip. The least number of buses is 9

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, There are 412 students and 20 teachers taking buses on a trip to a museum.  

Each bus can seat a maximum of 48.  

We have to find which inequality gives the least number of buses, b, needed for the trip?

Now, there are 412 students and 20 teachers, so in total there are 412 + 20 = 432 travelers

<em><u>The number of buses required “b” is given as:</u></em>

\text { (b) } \geq \frac{\text { total number of travelers }}{\text { capacity of each bus }}

\text { So, number of buses required } \geq \frac{432}{48}

Number of buses required ≥  9 buses.

But least number will be 9 from the above inequality.

Hence, the inequality \mathrm{b} \geq \frac{\text {total number of travelers}}{\text {capacity of each bus}} gives least count of busses and least count is 9.

Answer:

  $222,822.57

Step-by-step explanation:

The account balance is given by ...

  A = P·e^(rt)

where P is the principal invested at interest rate r for t years.

  A = $25,000×e^(0.0875·25) ≈ $222,822.57
