Approximately 40.6 ft^2 so you round it to 41 ft^2.
So the answer is C.
Hope I am right! :)

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

41 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar states that two polygons are similar when their corresponding sides  are in same proportion.

In a similar trapezoid, the area is proportional to the square of the side length.

As per the given statement:

Both trapezoids are similar.

The area of the smaller trapezoid is 26 square ft.

From the given figure:

Side of smaller trapezoid(a) = 16 ft

Side of larger trapezoid(b) = 20 ft

Let x be the  the area of the larger trapezoid

By definition:

\frac{\text{Area of smaller trapezoid}}{\text{Area of larger trapezoid}} = \frac{a^2}{b^2}

then;

\frac{26}{x} = \frac{16^2}{20^2}

⇒\frac{26}{x} = \frac{256}{400}

By cross multiply we have;

10400 = 256x

Divide both sides by 256 we have;

40.625 = x

or

x ≈ 41 square ft

Therefore, the best approximation for the area of the larger trapezoid is, 41 ft^2

Which equation can be used to determine the distance between the origin and (–2, –4)?
Mashutka [201]
When trying to determine the distance between two points, one would use the distance formula.

The distance formula is attached above and all you need to do is plug in the points in order to get the distance.

For example, if you were to plug them in, you would get:

√(0+4)^2 + (0+2)^2
