Answer: 357 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, were asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. Remember that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below

The b's are the bases or the parallel sides and the h represents the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 15 cm and 27 cm and the height is 17 cm.

Plugging this information into the formula, we have .

Next, the order of operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 15 cm + 27 cm is 42 cm and we have

1/2 × 42 cm is 21 cm and we have (21 cm)(17 cm) which is 357 cm².

So the area of the trapezoid shown is 357 cm².

For the parent function y=√x what effect does a value of b = -2 have on the graph?

Jobisdone [24]

We have no idea how 'b' is related to the parent function, or to the graph,
or to anything else, so no answer is possible. From just the information
given in the question, 'b' has no effect whatsoever on the graph, or on
how much rain Chicago will get next week.or on how much my dog will
eat tonight.

How many solutions does the system below have? y = x+1 2y - x = 2

Olegator [25]

Only one solution

$y = x + 1 \\ \implies \: x - y + 1 = 0..(1) \\\implies \: a_1x + b_1y+ c_1 = 0 \\ a_1 = 1, \: \:b_1 = - 1, \: \: c_1 = 1\\ 2y - x = 2 \\ \implies x - 2y + 2 = 0 \\ \implies \: a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0 \\ a_2 = 1, \: \:b_2 = - 2, \: \: c_2 = 2 \\ \\ \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{1}{1} = 1 \\ \\ \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{ - 1}{ - 2} = \frac{ 1}{ 2} \\ \\ \because \: \frac{a_1}{a_2} \neq \frac{b_1}{b_2} \\ \therefore \: given \: system \: of \: linear \: equations \: \\ has \: \bold\red{\boxed{only \: one}} \: solution.$
