What is the area of the trapezoid? Enter your answer in the box. in2 The figure shows a trapezoid. The parallel bases of the tra

pezoid are horizontal, and top base is shorter than the bottom base. Vertical line segments are drawn inside the trapezoid from the upper vertices perpendicular to the bottom base. These segments are each 18 inches and divide the trapezoid into two right triangles and a rectangle. The rectangle lies between the two triangles. The bases of the triangles and rectangle make up the bottom base of the trapezoid. The base of each triangle is 6 inches, and the base of the rectangle is 15 inches.

1. The area of the trapezoid (At) is:
 
 At=A1+A2
 
 At is the area of the trapezoid.
 A1 is the area of the right triangles.
 A2 is the area of the rectangle.
 
 2. You can find the area of the right triangles (A1) by applying the formula for calculate the area of a triangle and multiply it by 2, because both triangles have the same dimensions. Then:
 
 A1=2(bxh/2)
 
 b is the base (b=6 inches).
 h is the height (h=18 inches).
 
 A1=2(6 inchesx18 inches/2)
 A1=2(108 inches²/2)
 A1=108 inches²
 
 3. Now, you must find the area of the rectangle by applying the following formula:
 
 A2=bxh
 
 b is the base of the rectangle (b=15 inches).
 h is the height ot the rectangle (h=18 inches).
 
 A2=(15 inches)(18 inches)
 A2=270 inches²
 
 4. Therefore, the area of the trapezoid (At) is:
 
 At=A1+A2
 At=108 inches²+270 inches²
 At=378 inches²

Write a simplified polynomial expression in standard form to represent the area of the rectangle below. (2 points) A picture of
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Area= 5x^2-18x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rectangle show one side of length 5 x +2, and another side of length x - 4, then the area of this rectangle (given by the product of the sides' length) is:

Area = (5x+2)\,(x-4)\\Area = 5x^2-20x+2x-8\\Area= 5x^2-18x -8

which is already written in standard form.

0.624 in expanded form
Tpy6a [65]

The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:

0.6 + 0.02 + 0.004

Explanation:

To write a number in expanded form, we use place value. In this number, 6 is in the tenths place; that makes its value 6(0.1) = 0.6.

2 is in the hundredths place; that makes its value 2(0.01) = 0.02.

4 is in the thousandths place; that makes its value 4(0.001) = 0.004.

Together, we get a sum of 0.6+0.02+0.004.

How to use denominators when comparing two fractions with the same numerators
Sholpan [36]
What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!

What is the greatest common factor of 20x6y+40x4y2−10x5y5 ?
mestny [16]
The greatest common factor: 20x^6y 40x^4y^2 10x^5y^5 is 10x^4y.
20x^6y = 10x^4y*2x^2
40x^4y^2 = 10x^4y*4y
10x^5y^5 = 10x^4y*y^4

PLEASEEE HELP ! I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH :)
azamat

hi!

so the original equation is (x^2 -121) / x+ 11.

Those two equations look similar...

well, we know that the top equation looks like a^2 - b^2, and that equation iis equivalent to this equation: (a+b)(a-b).

So if we factor that out, we get:

( (x + 11) * (x-11) )/ (x + 11)

we can cancel the x+11 on the top and the x+11 on the bottom out.

that leaves us with x-11.

Hope this helped!
