Answer:

3,726\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> corresponding side of the larger trapezoid

y----> corresponding side of the smaller trapezoid

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=64\ m

y=12\ m

substitute

z=\frac{64}{12}

step 2

Find the area of the larger trapezoid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> area of the larger trapezoid

y----> area of the smaller trapezoid

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{64}{12}

y=131\ m^{2}

substitute

(\frac{64}{12})^{2}=\frac{x}{131}

x=(\frac{4,096}{144})(131)

x=3,726\ m^{2}

Apply the distributive property and the greatest common factor to write an equivalent expression.
amid [387]
Here, Your Original expression is 60x - 24.

Take 12 as common, which is GCD of 24 & 60, 

Therefore, It would be: 

60x - 24
= 12 * 5x - 12 * 2
= 12 (5x - 2)

In short, your Answer would be 12(5x - 2)

Hope this helps!

Which equation represents the graph of the linear function?
marusya05 [52]
By looking at the graph you can rule out choices C and D because the graph given to you is an increasing linear function and C and D represent functions with a decreasing or negative slope. 

By looking at the picture the slop of the graph seems to be 4/1 (rise/run) so your slope is 4. And your y-intercept looks like its -4 so your answer is B<span />
