A simple answer is that any given trapezoid with height h and length of the parallel lines a and b, is half of a parallelogram with an area of (a+b) x h. Since the trapezoid is half of this, it is h(a+b)/2
1. C(x, y) = (7.3, –3.9)
2. C(x, y) = (17, –1.5)
Solution:
Question 1:
Let the points are A(3, –5) and B(19, –1).
C is the point that on the segment AB in the fraction 
.
Point divides segment in the ratio formula:
Here, 
and m = 3, n = 8
C(x, y) = (7.3, –3.9)
Question 2:
Let the points are A(3, –5) and B(19, –1).
C is the point that on the segment AB in the fraction .
Point divides segment in the ratio formula:
Here, and m = 7, n = 1
C(x, y) = (17, –1.5)
Answer:
domain and range will be ( negative infinity, positive infinity
Given:
Area of sample board: 1/3 square ft.
Weight of sample board: 1/5 lbs
We need to get the weight of the whole square foot.
1/3 square foot is only a part of the whole square foot. Its corresponding weight is 1/5 pounds. We need to divide the area by its corresponding weight to get the total weight per square foot.
1/3 ÷ 1/5
Rules of dividing fractions:
1st fraction: 1/3 ; 2nd fraction: 1/5
1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 1/5 ⇒ 5/1
2) Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
1/3 * 5/1 = 5/3
3) Simplify fraction.
5/3 is an improper fraction. To simplify it, it needs to become a mixed fraction.
5/3 = 1 2/3 pounds.
