Answer:
- see below for a drawing
- the area of one of the trapezoids is 20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
No direction or other information about the desired parallelogram is given here, so we drew one arbitrarily. Likewise for the segment cutting it in half. It is convenient to have the bases of the trapezoids be the sides of the parallelogram that are 5 units apart.
The area of one trapezoid is ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3+5)·5 = 20 . . . . square units
The sum of the trapezoid base lengths is necessarily the length of the base of the parallelogram, so the area of the trapezoid is necessarily 1/2 the area of the parallelogram. (The area is necessarily half the area of the parallelogram also because the problem has us divide the parallelogram into two identical parts.)

C. 2x + 3
You have many ways to solve this!
You could...
A) multiply all the answer choices by 3x-2 and see what matches
B) Factor the trinomial
C) Divide the trinomial by the binomial using long division
Answer: Hi!
To solve this equation, we first distribute to the terms inside of the parentheses.
10*4 = 40
10*-3i = -30i
Our equation now looks like this:
40 - 30i
There is nothing left to simplify, so you're done!
Hope this helps!
