Given that,

The height of a trapezoid is (2x + 9).

The bases can be expressed as (3x - 7) and (x + 5).

To find,

An expression represent the area of the trapezoid.

Solution,

The formula for the area of trapezoid is given by :

A=\dfrac{1}{2}(\text{sum of bases})\times \text{height}

Put all the values,

A=\dfrac{1}{2}(3x-7+x+5)\times (2x+9)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(4x-2)\times (2x+9)\\\\=(2x-1)(2x+9)\\\\A=2x(2x)+9(2x)+(-1)(2x)+(-1)(9)\\\\=4x^2+18x-2x-9\\\\=4x^2+16x-9

So, the area of the trapezoid will be (4x^2+16x-9)\ \text{units}^2

The diameter of a circle has length 12. The center is at*(-5, 2). Give the equation
labwork [276]

Answer:

Equation of the circle is : x^{2} + 10x + y^{2} -4y -7 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the image attached in the answer area.

The center<em> O</em> has the co-ordinates i.e. <em>(-5,2)</em> and the diameter given is <em>12 units</em>.

We know that radius is half of diameter.

\text{Radius = }\dfrac{\text{Diameter}}{2}

\text{Radius = }\dfrac{12}{2}\\\Rightarrow \text{Radius = 6units}

The equation for circle given the center and radius, can be represented as:

(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} = r^{2}

Where <em>(a,b)</em> is the co-ordinate of center and <em>r</em> is the radius.

Let us consider the following formula:

(p+q)^2 = p^{2}+ q^{2} +2pq\\(p-q)^2 = p^{2}+ q^{2} -2pq

(x-(-5))^{2}+ (y-2)^{2} = 6^{2}\\\Rightarrow (x+5)^{2}+ (y-2)^{2} = 36\\\Rightarrow x^{2} + 25 + 10x +y^{2} + 4-4y=36\\\Rightarrow x^{2} + 10x +y^{2} -4y-7=0

Hence, Equation of the circle is : x^{2} + 10x + y^{2} -4y -7 =0
