A trapezoid is a polygon of four sides with two parallel sides.

The area of trapezoid is the half sum of the lengths of the paralled sides times the height which is the distance between the parallel sides.

Call b1 and b2 the lengths of the two parallel sides and H the heigth, the formula is [1/2](b1 + b2) H.

We know b1 = 12cm, b2 = 12cm + 2 cm, and the area = 39 cm^2, then we can find H:

39 = [1/2](12 + 14)*H

39 = (13/2)H => H = 2*39 / 13 = 6 cm

Answer: 6 cm

madreJ [45]

A consistent system of equations is a system with intersecting lines and lines that have the same equation.

A consistent system is the system of equations with at least one solution or infinite number of solutions.

So , the intersecting lines will always have a solution and the lines with the same equation will have infinite number of solution.

The graph of a system of equations with different slopes will have no solutions. Correct option in "Never"

If the system of equations have different slopes then the equations are not parallel, hence the equations will always have a solution.

Which equation correctly applies the distributive property?
ioda

From the word itself distribution, the distributive property of equality states that a number must be distributed to all the numbers inside the parenthesis. From the given choices, the only correct answer is:

C. −3 ⋅ (6.48)=(−3⋅6) + (−3⋅0.4) + (−3⋅0.08) ​

Divide -3x^3-2x^2-x-2 by x-2
Rasek [7]

Let's do this by Briot-Ruffini


First: Find the monomial root


x - 2 = 0

x = 2


Second: Allign this root with all the other coeficients from equation

Equation = -3x³ - 2x² - x - 2

Coeficients = -3, -2, -1, -2

2 | -3 -2 -1 -2


Copy the first coeficient


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3


Multiply him by the root and sum with the next coeficient


2.(-3) = -6

-6 + (-2) = -8


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8


Do the same


2.(-8) = -16

-16 + (-1) = -17


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8 -17


The same,


2.(-17) = -34

-34 + (-2) = -36


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8 -17 -36


Now you just need to put the "x" after all these numbers with one exponent less, see


2 | -3x³ - 2x² - 1x - 2

-3x² - 8x - 17 -36


You may be asking what exponent -36 should be, and I say:


None or the monomial. He's like the rest of this division, so you can say:


(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 with rest -36 or you can say:

(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 - 36/(x - 2)


Just divide the rest by the monomial.
