9.8 meters divided by .14 meter pieces. 70 pieces that Ralph can cut from the spool.
Explanation:
a. The line joining the midpoints of the parallel bases is perpendicular to both of them. It is the line of symmetry for the trapezoid. This means the angles and sides on one side of that line of symmetry are congruent to the corresponding angles and sides on the other side of the line. The diagonals are the same length.
__
b. We observe that adjacent pairs of points have the same x-coordinate, so are on vertical lines, which have undefined slope. KN is a segment of the line x=1; LM is a segment of the line x=3. If the trapezoid is isosceles, the midpoints of these segments will be on a horizontal line. The midpoint of KN is at y=(3-2)/2 = 1/2. The midpoint of LM is at y=(1+0)/2 = 1/2. These points are on the same horizontal line, so the trapezoid <em>is isosceles</em>.
__
c. We observed in part (b) that the parallel sides are KN and LM. The coordinate difference between K and L is (1, 3) -(3, 1) = (-2, 2). That is, segment KL is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 2, so the lengths of KL and MN are both 2√2.
_____
For part (c), we used the shortcut that the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the leg length.

Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
5*x^2-23*x-(-26)=0

</span><span> Step 2 :</span>Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
<span> 2.1 </span> Factoring <span> 5x2-23x+26</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>5x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 5 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -23x </span> its coefficient is <span> -23 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +26 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 5 • 26 = 130</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 130 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -23 </span>.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2,0) and (8,0) are horizontally aligned, so the ellipse is horizontal.
