Answer:

Option a is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be number of hours studied by Nikki.

We are told that Cindy studied seven more hours than Nikki studied. This means that number of hours studied by Nikki plus 7 hours equals to the number of hours studied by Cindy.

We can represent this information in an expression as :

$\text{The number of hours studied by Cindy}=n+7$

We can see from our given choices that expression given in option a represents the number of hours studied by Cindy in terms of hours studied by Nikki.

Therefore, option a is the correct choice.

Find the area of the trapezoid below.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: 54 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below.

$Area =\frac{1}{2} (^{b} 1 + ^{b}2)h$

The <em>b's</em> represent the bases which are the parallel sides and <em>h</em> is the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 6 cm and 12 cm and the height is 6 cm. Plugging this information into the formula, we have $\frac{1}{2} (6 cm +12cm)(6 cm)$ .

Next, the order of operations tell us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 6 cm + 12 cm is 18 cm and we have $\frac{1}{2}(18 cm)(6 cm)$ .
