Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is: 
(height)(sum of parallel lines)
Thus, the formula in this question would be: (4)(4+8) which is option C
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time flown by the flying carpet be 
. Then, we have that 
.
We multiply both sides of the equation by to get 
.
We subtract 
from both sides to get 
.
We divide both sides of the equation by 
.
We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.
The speed with wind is 
mph.
The speed against wind is 
mph.
The speed in still wind is 
.
Therefore, the answer is 
and we're done!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Top line: y = (2/3)x + 2
Bottom line: y = (2/3)x -1
Discussion:
The graph provided is hard to read but I did the best I could.
The top line appears to pass through the points (0,2) and (-3,0)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (0-2)/(-3-0) = -2/-3 = +2/3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,2) set x = 0, y= 2 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
2 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = 2
Therefore y = (2/3)x + 2
The bottom line appears to pass through the points (0,-1) and (3,1)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (1-(-1)) /(3-0) = +2/-3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,-1) set x = 0, y= -1 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
-1 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = -1
Therefore y = (2/3)x + -1
Thank you,
