Answer:
Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is equal to
A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h
we have
b1=16 cm
b2=24 cm
h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm
substitute
A=(1/2)[16+24](8)
A=160 cm²
<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)
Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"
so
(24+16)=(16+24)
A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²
<em>Verify Tara's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)
A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question got caught off. Can't read any of the other examples. I can tell you though that ice melting is a physical change, not a chemical change.
Answer:
x < -5
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x - 7 > x+ 8
Add 2x to each side
- 2x+2x - 7 > x+2x+ 8
-7 > 3x+8
Subtract 8 from each side
-7-8 > 3x+8-8
-15 > 3x
Divide by 3
-15/3 > 3x/3
-5 >x
x < -5
