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

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates.

Here, the given ordered pairs are (-6, -8) and (-14, 4), so the slope is:

slope = m = (4 - (-8)) / (-14 - (-6)) = 12 / (-8) = -3/2

The answer is thus -3/2.
