Step-by-step explanation:For me, what i like to do is to try divide the problem into two parts. For example in this problem, you would divide the 4x^2 into two 4x(since 4x+4x = 4x^2). Then 25 can be divide into into 5s (5x5=25). SInce you know that its a negative 25, you know that it has to be a negative on one of the sides. So the answer in factor form is (2x+5)(2x−5)

These two trapezoids are similar What is the correct way to complete the similarity statement?

pentagon [3]

Option A:

$\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE}$

Solution:

ABCD and EGFH are two trapezoids.

To determine the correct way to tell the two trapezoids are similar.

Option A: $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE}$

AB = GF (side)

BC = FH (side)

CD = HE (side)

DA = EG (side)

So, $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE}$ is the correct way to complete the statement.

Option B: $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{EGFH}$

In the given image length of AB ≠ EG.

So, $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{EGFH}$ is the not the correct way to complete the statement.

Option C: $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{FHEG}$

In the given image length of AB ≠ FH.

So, $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{FHEG}$ is the not the correct way to complete the statement.

Option D: $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{HEGF}$

In the given image length of AB ≠ HE.

So, $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{HEGF}$ is the not the correct way to complete the statement.

Hence, $\mathrm{ABCD} \sim \mathrm{GFHE}$ is the correct way to complete the statement.
