Answer: 357 cm²
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, were asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. Remember that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below
The b's are the bases or the parallel sides and the h represents the height.
So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 15 cm and 27 cm and the height is 17 cm.
Plugging this information into the formula, we have .
Next, the order of operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 15 cm + 27 cm is 42 cm and we have
1/2 × 42 cm is 21 cm and we have (21 cm)(17 cm) which is 357 cm².
So the area of the trapezoid shown is 357 cm².
Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4

Answer:
x = -12
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting point: (0, 2) and can go to (1, 6).
This shows the slope and y-intercept. Hope this helps.
