Answer:

7\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

a(-2,4), b(4,3), c(4,-5), d(-2,-2)

step 1

Plot the vertices to better understand the problem

using a graphing tool

The graph in the attached figure

step 2

Find the mid-segment parallel to ad and bc

Note : The mid-segment is parallel to the parallel bases of trapezoid

Let

e ---> midpoint segment ab

f ---> midpoint segment cd

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

<em>Find the midpoint e </em>

we have

a(-2,4) and b(4,3)

substitute the given values

e\ (\frac{-2+4}{2},\frac{4+3}{2})

e\ (1,3.5)

<em>Find the midpoint f </em>

we have

c(4,-5), d(-2,-2)

substitute the given values

f\ (\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{-5-2}{2})

f\ (1,-3.5)

step 3

Find the length of the mid-segment ef

we have

e\ (1,3.5)

f\ (1,-3.5)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

substitute

d_e_f=\sqrt{(-3.5-3.5)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}

d_e_f=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

d_e_f=\sqrt{49}\ units

d_e_f=7\ units

Rewrite the following equation in slope-inte
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

y = 13x + 86

Step-by-step explanation:

y−8 =13(x+6); distribute the 13

y - 8 = 13x + 78; now add 8 to both sides

y = 13x + 86; this is the slope intercept form

Evaluate the expression 2ab 3+ 6a 3 - 4ab2 when a=2 and b=4.<br> a.176<br> b.180<br> c.215<br> d.216
Tom [10]
The first step for solving this expression is to insert what a and b stand for into the expression. This will change the expression to the following:
2(2)(4)³ + 6(2)³ - 4(2)(4)²
Now we can start solving this by factoring the expression
2(2 × 4³ + 3 × 2³ - 4 × 4²)
Write 4³ in exponential form with a base of 2.
2(2 × 2^{6} + 3 × 2³ - 4 × 4²)
Calculate the product of -4 × 4².
2(2 × 2^{6} + 3 × 2³ -4³)
Now write 4³ in exponential form with a base of 2.
2(2 × 2^{6} + 3 × 2³ -2^{6})
Collect the like terms with a base of 2.
2(2^{6} + 3 × 2³)
Evaluate the power of 2³.
2(2^{6} + 3 × 8)
Evaluate the power of 2^{6}.
2(64 + 3 × 8)
Multiply the numbers.
2(64 + 24)
Add the numbers in the parenthesis.
2 × 88
Multiply the numbers together to find your final answer.
176
This means that the correct answer to your question is option A.
