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.)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: there is only one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4y = 1 --> (1)
5x - 20y = 4 --> (2)
y = (¼)x - ¼ --> (1)
y = (¼)x - ⅕ --> (2)
Since these are 2 parallel lines with different y-intercepts, they will never meet
