Answer: B. $\frac{3x}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of cards John and Alan has = x

The number of cards John has = $\frac{x}{4}$

Then to find the number of cards Alan has, we need to subtract the number of cards John has from the total number of cards.

Then, the number of cards John has = $x-\frac{x}{4}$

⇒ The number of cards John has = $\frac{4x-x}{4}$

⇒ The number of cards John has = $\frac{3x}{4}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is: $\frac{1}{2}$ (height)(sum of parallel lines)

Thus, the formula in this question would be: $\frac{1}{2}$ (4)(4+8) which is option C

if you divide a positive number by 12, the answer would be less than the original number? always, sometimes, or never

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for positive numbers is that addition and multiplication makes numbers larger. Subtraction and division makes numbers smaller.

Since 12 is a positive number, the result of dividing a positive number by 12 will make it smaller.

What is the length of a hypotenuse of a triangle if each of its legs is 4 units

azamat

Answer:

$\boxed{c = 5.7 units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem:

=> $c^2 = a^2+b^2$

Where c is hypotenuse, a is base and b is perpendicular and ( a, b = 4)

=> $c^2 = 4^2+4^2$

=> $c^2 = 16+16$

=> $c^2 = 32$

Taking sqrt on both sides

=> c = 5.7 units

What best describes the area of a polygon

never [62]

Answer:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.

The area of a polygon is the two-dimensional set of all points surrounded by the sides of the polygon.

If you're looking for an equation, it varies based on the number of sides and the shape of the polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem

A regular polygon is equilateral (it has equal sides) and equiangular (it has equal angles). To find the area of a regular polygon, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the polygon’s center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side (segment HM in the following figure is an apothem).
