Please elaborate more on your question so I can help you
So first of all you know that one side is 14cm and the other side is 6cm
What you would do is: 14-6=???
Your answer should be: 8cm
Answer:
90.75 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is given by
A = 1/2 ( b1+b2) *h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height
A = 1/2(8.5+ 15.7) * 7.5
1/2 (24.2) 7.5
90.75 cm^2
Solution:
1) Rewrite it in the form {a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}, where a={d}^{2} and b=4
{({d}^{2})}^{2}-2({d}^{2})(4)+{4}^{2}
2) Use Square of Difference: {(a-b)}^{2}={a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}
{({d}^{2}-4)}^{2}
3) Rewrite {d}^{2}-4 in the form {a}^{2}-{b}^{2} , where a=d and b=2
{({d}^{2}-{2}^{2})}^{2}
4) Use Difference of Squares: {a}^{2}-{b}^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)
{((d+2)(d-2))}^{2}
5) Use Multiplication Distributive Property: {(xy)}^{a}={x}^{a}{y}^{a}
{(d+2)}^{2}{(d-2)}^{2}
Done!
