simon says that to find the area of a trapezoid, you can multiply the height by the top base and the height by the bottom base.

Then add the two products together and divide the sun by 2. Is Simon correct? Explain your answer.

He is correct
basically you have
h times base1+h times bsae 2 all divided by 2
that equals
(hb1+hb2)/2
if we undistribute h using distributive property which is ab+ac=a(b+c)
(h)(b1+b2)/2

if you split the trapezoid in half with a horizontal line that passes through the halfway point of the height and take those two shapes and put them side by side and cut the triangles off the ends and add them, you will see why this is true

the reason is becuase you can get to the area formula from that is height times (b1+b2)/2

Please help me with these two, and please explain how to do it. Thank you.

Answer:

So for number 1 we can use the trigonometry to find out the radius/diameter of the circle then we can use the formula to get the area then we divide by 2 because its half of a circle. So we can get that the cos(68) = 7/x x being the diameter. We then can multiply it by x on both sides. That gives xcos(68) = 7. So then we can do the inverse and get x = cos^-1(68)*7. That gives us approx 18.686 as the diameter, we can divide by 2 and get 9.343. So then we can use the formula which is A = pi*r^2. So that gives us 87.291*pi 274.233. Then if we divide by 2 we get 137.12 that is the answer to first question.

I was able to simplify it into the factored form for number 2.(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=sqrt(17))^2. Therefore using the circle equation formula we can determine that the center is 1,2. The radius is sqrt(17). We square it and we get 17. So that means that the area is pi*17. Then we get 51.407 as the area.

<h2><u>Answer to 1: 137.12 round to tenth and you get 137.1</u></h2><h2><u></u></h2><h2><u>Answer to 2: </u></h2><h2><u>Center: 1,2 </u></h2><h2><u>Area: 51.407.</u></h2>
