12a)
5x + 45 + 3x - 25 = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20
12b)
2x - 5 = 2(20) - 5 = 40 - 5 = 35
3x - 25 = 3(20) - 25 = 60 - 25 = 35
y = 180 - (35+35)
y = 180 - 70
y = 110
Answer:
B its 4 7/8 --------------
The area of a trapezoid if found using the formula
A = (base1 + base2)/2 x height
Area = (3+5)/2 x 1.5
Area = 8/2 x 1.5
Area = 4 x 1.5
Area = 6 square feet.
Should be 37 if you use Pythagorean theorem!
