The area of the given trapezoid will be the sum of the areas of the triangular part and the rectangular part.
Now, the area of the rectangle, is:
squared yards
Likewise, the area, of the triangle will be:
Thus, the area of the trapezoid=
Thus the first option is the correct option.
Solving the following inequation:
(x - 8) (x + 1) > 0
We are going to find the sign both parts of the multiplication,
(x - 8) and (x + 1), have when
x < - 8
-8 < x < 1
1 < x
Then we know (x - 8) (x + 1) > 0 whenever (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive
We can see in the figure (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive when x < -8 and x > 1
Then
Answer:B
