That is false... coefficients in polynomials can lead in either positive or negative
Answer:
(B) Talia is correct. The lateral area can be found by approximating one large triangle, which can be found using the expression 4 (one-half (8) (6.9))
Step-by-step explanation:
Base of the Pyramid = 8 Inches
Height of the Triangular Face = 6.9 Inches
In any solid shape, the Lateral surface area is the sum of all sides except its top and bottom bases.
Since the four triangles are congruent:
Lateral Surface Area = 4 X Area of One Triangle
Area of a Triangle = 
Area of one Triangular Face 
Therefore:
Lateral Surface Area 
Therefore, Talia is correct.
Answer:
640 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape below is a trapezoid.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is average of the bases times the height.
The bases are the parallel lines that make up 2 of the sides of the trapezoid.
The height is the line dotted line that creates right angles and is the distance between the two bases.
The bases are 24 and 40.
To find the average, we add them together and divide by 2
(24+40)/2=64/2=32
Now, we multiply 32 by the height, which is given as the length of 20.
32*20=640
the area of the trapezoid is 640 units squared
Hope this helps!
Looks complicated, sorry wish I could help
