20.90 would be the item before tax. To get the amount of tax, I multiplied 20 by 0.05 and subtracted that amount from 22
Answer:
20 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Your work is partially correct.
Assuming that the sides marked 8 yds and 2 yds are parallel, then the area of the trapezoid is
A = ( 8 yds + 2 yds)
------------------------ * 4 = 20 yd^2
2
You add up all of the sides
A.
lxl=7
x=7 x=-7 (Take two cases, one as the others side negative and the other as positive)
B.
l2xl=32
2x=32 2x=-32
x=16 x=-16
C.
lx+7l=10
x+7=10 x+7=-10
x=3 x=-17
D.
lxl=53.1
x=53.1 x=-53.1
