For a) the pattern rule goes 12+(12x2)=36 36+(12x4)=84
So the pattern rule is double the number and then times it by twelve to get to the next answer
<span>By the given scenario in this item, the amount that is paid before tax for the item would only be equal to 82% of the original amount. This is due to the given 18% discount.
To solve for the amount that needs to be paid, we simply multiply the base value with the decimal equivalent of the given percentage. That is,
P = ($350)(0.82) = $287
Answer: $287</span>
To find the length of each side of the trapezoid, you need to use the distance formula.
AB = (-3,2) and (1,5)
BC = (1,5) and (7,-3)
CD = (7, -3) and (0, -2)
AD or DA = (0,-2) and (-3,2)
Now, just use the distance formula for each line. Doing so gives us:
AB = 5
BC = 10
CD = 7.071107...
DA or AD = 5
The height is AB, the first base is BC and the second base is CD. We can plug the values for these sides into the trapezoid area formula, which is A = base 1 + base 2 all over 2 times the height. Doing so gives us 37.5 units². Therefore, the answer to your query is 37.5 units². Hope this helps and have a nice day!
