Answer: 102
-----------------------------------------------
We'll use the formula
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
where
A = area of trapezoid
h = height
b1 & b2 are the parallel bases
In this case,
b1 = 6+7 = 13
b2 = 21
h = 6
Making the area to be
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(13+21)/2
A = 6*(34)/2
A = 204/2
A = 102
Side Note: We don't use the slanted side of 10 cm at all
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want the "root" of the equation...
First get y by itself on one side. You should get y = - x - 8.
Notice that this is the equation of a straight line.
Then let y = 0, and solve for x. You should get x = -8.
So the solution or "root" of the equation is at the point (-8,0)
