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.)
Answer:
y = 3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so first we do the equation for rise over run which is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
so plug the numbers 11 - 17/ 4 - 2 getting the slope -3, now since we found the slope we need to find the intercept form, what you have to do now is plug in a coordinate from the x value and y value one of the pairs essentially so,
y = 3x + b, I chose your first pair
11 = 3 x 2 + b
equals to,
11 = 6 + b
now we want b, by itself.
5 = b
so the total intercept form answer is
y = 3x + 5
I will check over it,
11 = 3 x 2 + 5
11 = 11
I hope this helped!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
