Answer:
if you ant to find the area of the traporziord prism you have to multiply the height and with to find the area
Answer:
A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2
Step-by-step explanation:
A:
- 5x-(3x+1)
- Expand, 5x-3x-1
- Combine like terms, 2x-1
B:
- 5x-(-3x-1)
- Expand, 5x+3x+1
- Combine like terms, 8x+1
C:
- -5x-(3x+1)
- Expand, -5x-3x-1
- Combine like terms, -8x-1
D:
- -5x-(-3x-1)
- Expand, -5x+3x+1
- Combine like terms, -2x+1
We know the width of the rectangle in the middle of the trapezoid is 24 (from the top of the image), so we can subtract that from the bottom width of the trapezoid to get the combined length of the bottom of both triangles.

Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, both triangle bases are the same length, so we can cut this value in half to get the length of
and 

Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of
