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

Answer:

A = $ 50,978.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100

r = 5%/100

r = 0.05 per year,

Then, solve our equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 45,000.00(1 + 0.004166667/12)(12)(2.5)

A = $ 50,978.44

6x-21>3 and 14x+11>-17
Delicious77 [7]
6x-21>3
Add 21 to both sides
6x>24
Divide 6 on both sides
X>4

14x+11>-17
Subtract 11 from both sides
14x>-28
Divide 14 on both sides
X<-2
