Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is formed.
300 miles and 400 miles are the legs of the triangle.
We can apply Pythagorean theorem.




Ok, you can refer to the midpoint formula to find the endpoint. Here goes...
MP=(2,-7) and EP=(8,-5)
Let x represent the missing endpoint.
(8+x)/2=2 NOTE: =2 represents first number of MP and the representation of number 8 is self explanatory. You have two endpoints but need to identify the other endpoint so you divide by 2. Then, multiply by two on both sides.
2(8+x)/2 = 2*2
16+x/2=4 do the next step (simplify) on the left side of equation 16x/2=8
Now, subtract 4-8=-4 So, the x coordinated of the missing endpoint is -4.
What are the options for this question?
let's notice the tickmarks on the left and right sides, meaning those two sides are twins, and therefore equal, so the perimeter is simply 2.5+2.5+3.5+2.5 = 11 ft.
the trapezoid has an altitude/height of 2 ft, thus
