Answer:
Factoring the trinomial:
we get the factors 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor the trinomial: 
We can factor the trinomial by breaking the middle term i.e 13x
Such that adding or subtracting gets the both terms we get 13x and multiplying both terms we get 12x^2
We can break 13x as: 12x and x
Adding them we get 13x and multiplying them we get 12x^2
So,

So, Factoring the trinomial:
we get the factors 
The answer is: 12.8
71 -7 = 64
64÷5=12.8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Bottom triangle
Area = b * height
b = 4 + 4 = 8 cm
h = 5.75
Area = 1/2 * 5.75 * 8
Area = 23 cm^2
Trapezoid
b1 = 8
b2 = 4
h = 2
Area = (b1 + b2)*h/ 2
Area = (8 + 4)*2 /2
Area = 12
Total area = 23 + 12
Total area = 35
