Answer:
B. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the Midsegment of a trapezoid theorem:
GH = (BC + FE)/2
9x - 3 = (19 + (5x + 1))/2) (substitution)
9x - 3 = (20 + 5x)/2
Cross multiply
2(9x - 3) = 20 + 5x
18x - 6 = 20 + 5x
Collect like terms
18x - 5x = 20 + 6
13x = 26
Divide both sides by 13
x = 26/13
x = 2
Area of the triangle is 20x(x - 1) sq. in
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the area of the triangle.
Height = 10x in and Base = 4(x - 1) in
Area = 1/2 × base × height
⇒ Area = 1/2 × 4(x - 1) × 10x
= 20x(x - 1) sq. in
S= a/4 + 8u
S - 8u = a/4 (First you subtract 8u from both sides)
4(S - 8u) = a ( Then you multiply both sides by 4)
Final answer:
4(S - 8u) = a
4 x 5 x 5 is 100 if u distribute
Now 5 + 5 x 4 is 25
The answer would be 210 because 20/-4 equals -5 and 35+(-5) equals 30. 30×7 equals 210. Hope that helped :D
