If you travel 40 miles east and then turn around and drive 12 miles west, the displacement is?
2 answers:
The answer is 28 miles.
Displacement is not the same as distance. Total distance would be the sum of two distances: 40 + 12 = 52 miles.
However, displacement is the shortest distance from the initial and final position. Take a look at the attached image. Displacement is the difference of two distances:
D = 40 - 12 = 28 miles

Answer:m<c=120
Step-by-step explanation:
You set the two expressions equal to each other solve for x and then plug in x to one expression to get the angle.
After that add the two angles together and subtract them from 360 divide by two and you’ll get the other two angles.
This usually only applies to parallelograms.
I hope this helps it’s been awhile since I’ve done this so if it sounds like gibberish I worked out the problem as a better explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete as the required trapezoid is not given. SO, I will answer using genera rules.
The area of a trapezoid is:
