Answer:
m∠1 = 50°
m∠2 = 130°
Explanation:
m∠2 = 130° because of alternate exterior angles.
m∠1 = 50° because it is supplementary to m∠2. So, 180 - 130 = 50.
We know the width of the rectangle in the middle of the trapezoid is 24 (from the top of the image), so we can subtract that from the bottom width of the trapezoid to get the combined length of the bottom of both triangles.
Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, both triangle bases are the same length, so we can cut this value in half to get the length of 
and 
Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of

Answer:
The first statement is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is f(x) = - (x + 6)(x + 2)
⇒ f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12
Now, condition for a function f(x) to be increasing at x = a is f'(a) > 0.
Now, f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12
⇒ f'(x) = -2x - 8 {Differentiating with respect to x}
Now, f'(a) = -2a - 8 {Here a can be any real value}
And, the condition for increasing function at x = a is
- 2a - 8 > 0
⇒ - 2a > 8
⇒ a < - 4
Therefore, the first statement is true i.e. the function is increasing for all real values of x where x < – 4. (Answer)
