Answer:

390 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer base of a trapezoid is 8 ft. The longer base of a similar trapezoid is 13 ft. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 240 ft² What is the area of the larger trapezoid?

We solve the above question using proportion

(Longer base/Area of trapezoid) smaller trapezoid = (Longer base/Area of trapezoid) bigger trapezoid

Let the the Area of the bigger trapezoid = x

Hence,

= 8ft/240ft = 13ft/x ft

Cross Multiply

8ft × x = 240ft × 13ft

x = 240ft² × 12 ft/8 ft

x = 390 ft²

How to find the multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial function?
Monica [59]
<span>The multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial function is how many times a particular number is a zero for a given polynomial.

For example, in the polynomial function f(x)=x(x+4)^2(x-2)^3, the zeros are 0 with a multiplicity of 1, -4 with a multiplicity of 2, and 2 with a multiplicity of 3.

Although this polynomial has only three zeros, we say that it has six zeros (or degree of 6) counting the <span>multiplicities.</span></span>
