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

This keeps on confusing me. Please explain it to me.

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

the picture is showing

1+1= -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -x

simplified its:

2= -8 + -x

I think that the answer is x=-10 cuz if u did -8 - -10 then the two negatives make a positive and it makes 2 but idk if the minus sign before the x means minus or negative so this might be the answer but dont blame me if im wrong. I warned you. If its right plz write that.

Do you have 1 7/8 divided by one half. With dividing you multiply by the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2/1. Before you do that change 1 7/8 into a mixed number which is 15/8. 15 x 2= 30, 8 x 1=8. New fraction is 30/8. Now as a mixed number it is 3 6/8 which simplifies to 3 3/4. So your answer is D
