Well, the area of a trapezoid is A = (

+

) * h * 1/2 so you can use the area of a parallelogram, which is A = l * w, by splitting the trapezoid into 2 triangles and one rectangle. So you'd use A = l * w for the rectangle and A = 1/2bh for the triangles. You'd get the same answer!
Answer:
8+12x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
71 (or 7.... read explanation)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you mean | -71 | then it's 71.
If you mean | -7 | then it's 7
Absolute values turn negative numbers into positive numbers.
So you gotta change the second one to slope int form and it will become -3y=18x-54 which means that it's A because parallel lines can't be parallel if the slopes are different. (pretty sure this is right but who knows)
Set up a proportion:
4.1/22 = 12.3/x
Cross multiply:
4.1 * x = 22 * 12.3
4.1x = 270.6
Divide 4.1 to both sides:
x = 66
