The line VS is middle line of that trapezoid, so you know that it is
VS= (WR+UT)/2
so we will get that it is:
<span>40= (x^2+2 +2x^2+3)/2
x = 5
Therefore,
x^2 + 2
5^2 + 2
25 +2
27 <----- OPTION 2
Hope this answers the question.</span>
Is the equation suppose to be f(x)=x^2 and g(x)= x+5^2-9? the triangle thing means to the power of
52^ 2 because this is equal to the area which is 2704 sq ft. So 52 to the second power is your answer. 52 ^2
Hope this helps! :)
