1. Use Difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
(x+k)(x-k)=0
2. Solve for x and k
x=+-k
k=+-x
Answer:
A = 12 units ^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the trapezoid is found by
A = 1/2 (b1+b2)h
b1 = 2
b2 = 4
h = 4
I found these by looking at the graph
A = 1/2(2+4) 4
A = 1/2(6*4)
A = 12 units ^2
5/8.
Keep in mind that a fraction is also division equation, and you are distributing 5 liters among 8 glasses. Five divided by eight; five over eight.
