What is the area of a trapezoid ABCD with bases AB and CD
2 answers:
If you draw a perpendicular to CD from point A or point B, you will create a right triangle with one leg 5 and hypotenuse (BC or DA) 13. The other leg of this triangle is the height of the trapezoid:
... h = √(13² -5²) = 12
The area is this height multiplied by the average base length:
... Area = (12 cm)×(10 cm +20 cm )/2 = 180 cm²

Answer:
y = -x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️Find the slope using (9, 0) and (7, 2):
Slope (m) = -1
✔️Find the y-intercept (b):
The line intercepts the y-axis when y = 9. Therefore, y-intercept (b) = 9
✔️Substitute m = -1 and b = 9 into y = mx + b
Thus,
y = -1(x) + 9
y = -x + 9
