First, let's fine the decimal of each fraction.
-5 Divided By 6 = -0.83333333333
17 Divided By 18 = 0.94444444444
-2 Divided By 9 = -0.22222222222
-5/6 - 17/18 - (-2/9) = -1.55555555556
If half the sum of the bases is multiplied by the height, then that is the area of the trapezoid.
I believe this is the correct wording.
I am pretty sure these statements are created by taking the last part of the statement and pairing it with the “if” and the first part of the statement and pairing it with a “then” to make a complete statement.
I hope this helps! :)
In general, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360. This is true for every quadrilateral. This does not help here, because there are two angles (angles B and D) we know nothing about. We only know about opposite angles A and C.
In this case, you can use another theorem.
Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
m<A + m<C = 180
3x + 6 + x + 2 = 180
4x + 8 = 180
4x = 172
x = 43
m<A = 3x + 6 = 3(43) + 6 = 135
Answer: 135 deg
