Remark
This is quite a nice little problem. It takes a minute or three to figure out the answer, and when you do, you will be certain that you have been tricked. It is a little like the egg of Columbus.
Solution
The Base of Triangle ABN is AB
The Base of Triangle CDM is CD
The height of both given triangles is h. That is the distance between the two parallel lines.
Area ABN = 1/2*AB * h = 23 cm^2
Area CDM = 1/2*CD * h = 18 cm^2
Now the Area of the trapezoid is
Area_Trapezoid = 1/2 * h (AB + CD) Using the distributive property Remove the brackets.
Area_Trapezoid = 1/2*AB*h + 1/2*CD*h Did you notice something? Those terms are just the area of the triangles (written above.)
Area Trapezoid = 23 + 18 = 41 cm^2 <<<< Answer
Yes it can, but jost once
Answer:
3/5=x
Step-by-step explanation:
3÷x=5
multiply both sides by x
x(3÷x)=(5)x
cancel out x on the left side of the equation
3=5x
divide both sides by 5
3/5=(5x)/5
cancel out 5 on the right side
3/5=x
Yes, because if you devide 2 by 5 it equals a decimal of .4

Where i put the black lines is where the points should be because there are 5 lines and the 6th one makes a whole number you would multiply 2/3 but 2 and it’ll become 4/6 and that’s why i got it on -1 4/6 and then 5/6 well i have it on there
