This problem can be completed in 2 ways. Both are acceptable.
Option 1:This is an isosceles trapezoid that can be divided into a rectangle and two congruent triangles.
The area of the rectangle is the base times the height.

The area of one of the triangles is half the base times the height.

The other triangle must have that area too.

The area is 56 square centimeters.
Option 2:We can use the area formula for the trapezoid.

Where

is the length of the shorter base
and

is the length of the longer base
and

is the height.
The length of the shorter base is 9.
The length of the longer base is 9+5+5, or 19.
The height is 4.


Same answer. The area is 56 square centimeters.
Both options are two acceptable ways the problem can be tackled.
80 * 70 percent = cookies sold
80 * .7 = cookies sold
56 = cookies sold
Hello! And thank you for your question!
Use Pemdas to get
3^(n+2)*4=3^28
Rewrite the equation:
3^4(n+2) = 3^28
Cancel the base of 3:
4(n + 2) = 28
Then divide 4 on both sides:
2 + n = 28/4
Simplify 28/4:
2 + n = 7
Subtract 2 on both sides:
n = 7 - 2
Finally simplify 7 - 2:
n = 5
Final Answer:
n = 5
