Answer:

Equation of midsegment line: y = (-1/4)x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines:-

y = (-1/4)x +5 and y = (-1/4)x - 1

Midsegment of any trapezoid is the line segment

1. that is parallel to pair of parallel side of trapezoid and

2. that passes through the middle of the trapezoid and cuts the other two sides into equal-half.

It means the midsegment would have same slope as the parallel lines and y-intercept would be in the middle of intercepts of parallel lines.

So y = mx + b

where m = -1/4 and b = (5 - 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.

Hence, the equation of midsegment would be y = (-1/4)x + 2.

In the regular octagon, the numeric value of the area of the shaded region is twice more than the numeric value of the length of
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A =  (2+√8)L² - 2L, where L is the length of AB

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call L the length of one side. The octagon can be divided in 8 triangles composed by the vertices of the octagon and the center. The base of each triangle has length L and the height is L/2 + M, with M such that 2M² = L². This is because the center of the octagon is located at middle height of the center sides. You can reach that height by 'travelling' from the bottom side throught one slanted side (which is the hypotenuse of a isosceles rectangle triangle of height M) and then you travel throught a center side half its length. Thus, h = L/2 + L/√2.

The area of each triangle of the octagon therefore is, as a result, h*L/2 = L²/4 + L²/2√2

Hence, the area of the octagon is 8*(L²/4 + L²/2√2) = (2+√8)L². The unshaded region area can be computed by taking this number and substract to it the value of 2L, which is the area of the shaded region (The double of the length of a side)

As a result,

A =  (2+√8)L² - 2L

What is the solution to this equation?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.2(x-20)=44-x

Divide both sides by -0.2:

x-20=-220+5x

Subtract x from both sides:

-20=-220+4x

Add 220 to both sides:

200=4x

x=50, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!
