Answer:
-a^2 - a + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
You only need to find the products of the first and last terms to determine the correct answer:
(-a)(a) = -a^2
(3)(4) = 12
You're looking for an expression with -1 as the leading coefficient and +12 as the constant. There is only one choice like that:
-a^2 - a + 12

Is it 729 lol why would you put it as mixed number
Answer with step-by-step explanation:
The way the question is worded, this actually shouldn't be correct. The correct answer should be
.
Because the trapezoids are similar, we can find the ratio of their perimeters by actually just finding the ratio of their sides.
Why?
By definition, the corresponding sides of a polygon are in a constant proportion. The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the polygon. Since we're just adding the sides, the proportion will still be maintained.
Therefore, we'll just need to ratio of their corresponding sides. The only two corresponding sides that are marked are
and
.
The ratio of
is
.
The reason why it ideally should be
and not
is because the question states
, which mentions
first, so our answer should follow this respective order. I believe you were marked right anyways because the specific order is not specified, but generally, you want to give your answer respectively by default.
