Remark

This is quite a nice little problem. It takes a minute or three to figure out the answer, and when you do, you will be certain that you have been tricked. It is a little like the egg of Columbus.

Solution

The Base of Triangle ABN is AB

The Base of Triangle CDM is CD

The height of both given triangles is h. That is the distance between the two parallel lines.

Area ABN = 1/2*AB * h = 23 cm^2

Area CDM = 1/2*CD * h = 18 cm^2

Now the Area of the trapezoid is

Area_Trapezoid = 1/2 * h (AB + CD)     Using the distributive property Remove the brackets.

Area_Trapezoid = 1/2*AB*h + 1/2*CD*h Did you notice something? Those terms are just the area of the triangles (written above.)

Area Trapezoid = 23 + 18 = 41 cm^2 <<<< Answer

Part 1) Smooth curve going up the Origin, means, the distance of the bus is increasing with increase in time. In other words, Bus is in the motion.

Part 2) Distance is constant here & Bus is not moving at all.

Part 3) Distance is decreasing, means bus in moving in opposite direction, and it is said to be the negative displacement.

Part 4) Again, The Distance is constant here & Bus is not moving at all.

Part 5) Here, Displacement is negative, which means bus is moving in the opposite direction and reached the starting point.

Part B) It is Increasing at: Part 1
It is decreasing at: Part 3 & 5
It is constant at: Part 2 & 4

C.) Graph is non-linear, as it shows deviation through the complete journey of the Bus.

Hope this helps!

Solve the following equations for x, and give evidence that your solutions are correct (x/2)+(1/3)=(5/6).
azamat

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{6}

Now,

subtracting  \frac{1}{3} from both sides

we get

⇒ \frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}

or

⇒ \frac{x}{2}+0=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}

or

⇒  \frac{x}{2}=\frac{5\times3-6}{6\times3}

or

⇒ \frac{x}{2}=\frac{9}{18}

or

\frac{x}{2}=\frac{1}{2}

Now, multiplying both sides with the number 2, we get

x = 1
