Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel base 1 = a = 3 inches

Parallel base 2 = b = 5 inches

Height of trapezoid = 8 inches

We need to find area of trapezoid

The formula used is: $Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h$

Now putting the values and finding area of trapezoid

$Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{5+3}{2}\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{8}{2}\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=4\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=32$

So, the area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2

let one of the integers be x,

other one = 2x - 2

now, according to question :

${x}^{2} + (2x - 2) {}^{2} = 628$

${x}^{2} + 4 {x}^{2} + 4 - 8 x = 628$

$5 {x}^{2} - 8x = 628 - 4$

$5 {x}^{2} - 8x = 624$

$5 {x}^{2} - 8x - 624 = 0$

$5 {x}^{2} - 60 x+ 52 x- 624 = 0$

$5x(x - 12) + 52(x - 12) = 0$

$(5x + 52)(x - 12) = 0$

now, since the Integers are positive so the value obtained from (5x + 52) = 0 can't hold true.

so, x - 12 = 0

$x = 12$

the first number is :

$x = 12$

second number is :

$2x - 2$

$(2 \times 12) - 2$

$24 - 2$

$22$

Answer:

Here:

Step-by-step explanation:

You choose 2,4,6,8,10 as your solution points, or in other words the numbers you with substitute in for x.

The equation is:

y= 1/2x+1

So what we would do is take one number from the list above (2,4,6,8.10) and put it in for are.

So, Thats how you do it, I attached a completed version of your paper below!
