Answer:

16.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment is the distance between the midpoints of the nonparallel sides of the trapezoid.

The trapezoid ABCD has vertices A(1,6) B(-2,6) C(-10,-10) and D(20,-10).

We want to find the midsegment of ABCD to the nearest tenth.

The midpoint of BC is;

( \frac{ - 2 +  - 10}{2} , \frac{6 +  - 10}{2} ) = ( - 6, - 2)

The midpoint of AD is :

( \frac{1 +  20}{2} , \frac{6 +  - 10}{2} ) = ( 10.5, - 2)

The length of the midsegment is the distance from (-6,2) to (10.5,2)

=   |10 .5 -  - 6|  = 16.5

Find the area of the figure below
Serhud [2]
Easy

the easiest way is to imagine that you have a rectangle with a corner cut off
the area of the figure=area of rectangle-area cut off

area that was cut off was a triangle

area of rectangle=length times width
area of triangle=1/2base times height

so we draw imaginary lines like in attachment
find area of rectangle
legnth=9 inch
width=9 inch
area=9 times 9=81 in^2

triangle
the top part is ?+5=9, so the base of triangle=4
the side is ?+4=9, so the base is 5
area=1/2 times 4 times 5=10 in^2

area=rectangle-triangle
area=81-10=71 in^2

Mason, a hardwood flooring installer, needs to calculate the amount of hardwood flooring needed to cover a floor that's 33⁄4 yar
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

20 5/8 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

width = 3 3/4 yd

length = 5 1/2 yd

First change both measurements to fractions.

3 3/4 = 3 + 3/4 = 12/4 + 3/4 = 15/4

5 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2

area = length * width

area = 15/4 yd * 11/2 yd

area = (15 * 11)/(4 * 2) yd^2

area = 165/8 yd^2

165/8 = 20 remainder 5

area = 20 5/8 yd^2
