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

Answer:

  (b)  38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon is a trapezoid with bases 4 and 7 and height 7. Its area is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(4 +7)(7) = 77/2

  A = 38.5 . . . . square units

Which angles are a linear pair
mihalych1998 [28]

Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

A set of data has a normal distribution with a mean of 5.1 and a standard deviation of 0.9. Find the percent of data between 4.2
Yuliya22 [10]

A set of data has a normal distribution with a mean of 5.1 and a standard deviation of 0.9. Find the percent of data between 4.2 and 5.1.

Answer: The correct option is B) about 34%

Proof:

We have to find P(4.2

To find P(4.2, we need to use z score formula:

When x = 4.2, we have:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

          =\frac{4.2-5.1}{0.9}=\frac{-0.9}{0.9}=-1

When x = 5.1, we have:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

          =\frac{5.1-5.1}{0.9}=0

Therefore, we have to find P(-1

Using the standard normal table, we have:

P(-1= P(z

                               =0.50-0.1587

                               =0.3413 or 34.13%

                               = 34% approximately

Therefore, the percent of data between 4.2 and 5.1 is about 34%
