Answer:

Yes, Simon is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid refers to a quadrilateral that is convex in shape; as such it has no equal sides and no parallel sides.

Let the height of a trapezoid be h.

Let the top base of a trapezoid be b1.

Let the bottom base of a trapezoid be b2.

Area \; of \; trapezoid = \frac {1}{2} * (Sum \; of \; nonparallel \; sides) * height

Therefore, Area \; of \; trapezoid = \frac {1}{2} * (b_{1} + b_{2}) * h

Area \; of \; trapezoid = \frac {1}{2} * (b_{1}h + b_{2}h)

Area \; of \; trapezoid = \frac {b_{1}h + b_{2}h}{2}

Hence, to find the area of a trapezoid, you will multiply the height by the top base and the height by the bottom base. Then you add the two products together and divide the sum by 2.

tangare [24]

Answer:

14.285714285714 %

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose the weekly payment is of x dollars

Then

Previous payment : $(x/40) per hour

New payment : $(x/35) per hour

Then

The percentage increase in the hourly rate of pay is :

=\frac{\frac{x}{35} -\frac{x}{40} }{\frac{x}{40} } \times100

=\frac{\frac{5x}{1400} }{\frac{x}{40} }  \times100

=\frac{5x}{1400} \times \frac{40}{x} \times100

=\frac{200}{1400} \times100

=\frac{1}{7} \times100

=14.285714285714
