Answer:

The area of the patio is 43 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have a trapezoid and we are asked to calculate the area of the patio which is in the form of the trapezoid.

Please check attachment for possible trapezoid picture.

Mathematically, the area of the trapezoid can be calculated using the mathematical formula below;

A = 1/2 (a+b) h

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides.

Now, let’s say a is 17 feet

b was stated explicitly to be 2 feet half the length of the longer base. That would be 1/2(17) - 2 = 8.5 -2 = 6.5 feet

Now let’s calculate the area of the patio;

A = 1/2(6.5+17) * 4 = 2(23.5) = 47 square feet

just olya [345]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is rather a strange choice. The tools are used as extensions of our  senses. That's all that technology has done. We still need to observe things for ourselves if we are to learn. I actually really do not know what this statement means. My answer reflects what I think is true. Our need to observe and think is not hindered.

B is never going to be true. We still have to test things out, even with the best tools that we have.

C: The exact opposite is true. Our knowledge of the universe has expanded beyond our belief with the better tools of technology that we have.

D: This is the opposite of C and is the answer.

Answer:

2x² + \frac{3}{2} x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x), thus

f(x) + g(x)

= \frac{x}{2} - 2 + 2x² + x - 3 ← collect like terms

= 2x² + \frac{3}{2} x - 5
