What are ways using coordinate geometry, that I could determine that this is a trapezoid?

One method to see it's a trapezoid is to find the slope of lines BC and AD.

The slope formula is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

You should find that BC and AD both have the same slope (of -1), so that means the lines are parallel. That proves we have a trapezoid.

-----------------------

To prove this trapezoid is isosceles, you can use the distance formula

d = \sqrt{ \left(x_1-x_2\right)^2 + \left(y_1-y_2\right)^2}

to find the lengths of AB and CD (the two non-parallel sides). You should find that AB = CD.

Because AB and CD are horizontal and vertical respectively, this means you can simply count out the spaces to find that AB and CD are 3 units each. For any other rotated version of this trapezoid, use the distance formula instead.

20 is what percent of 50? A. 40% B. 10% C. 250% D. 30%
zvonat [6]
<span>A is the correct answer. To find 10% of 50, divide it by 10. This gives you 5. If 5 is 10%, then 20 is 40%, because 20 is 4 x 5 and 40 is 4 x 10. </span>

Answer:

1)x = 8 \\ x + y + 2 = 8 + y + 2 = 10 + y \\ 2)x = 9 \\ x + y + 2 = 9 + y + 8 = 17 + y \\ 3)y = 3 \\ x + y + 2 = x + 3 + 2 = x + 5 \\ 4) y = 0 \\ x + y + 2 = x + 0 + 2 = x + 2 \\ 5)x = 6 \: y = 2 \\ x + y + 2 = 6 + 2 + 2 +  = 10 \\ thank \: you
