The sum of angles in any quadrilateral, including trapezoid, is 360⁰. 
Because we have <span>an isosceles trapezoid, we have 2 angles with measure 135⁰,
and we have 2 equal acute angles with measure x⁰.
So, we can find value of acute angle,
135*2 +2x =360⁰
270+2x=360
2x=360-270
2x=90
x=45⁰

So, acute angles in trapezoid = 45⁰.
From triangle ABC,
angle ACB =90⁰
angle A=45⁰,
so angle ABC= 180-(90-45)=45⁰
Triangle ABC is isosceles triangle,so |AC| = |CB|= 5 in.

So, longer base AA' = 5+4+5= 14 in

Now, we can find area of trapezoid.
shorter base = 4 in
longer base = 14 in
altitude =h = 5 in
Area of trapezoid =(1/2)(base1+base2)*h
Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(4+14)*5= 9*5=45 in²
Answer is 45 in².

There's two ways, you can either multiply 11 and 7 to get 77 and then divide by 2, OR, you can divide 11 by 2 and get 5.5 and multiply that by 7, hope this makes sense, if you don't understand just comment and I'll explain it more :)

If 7x + 4 = -19 + 5x, then 2x – 14 equals<br>A-23<br>B 23<br>C-37<br>D-14​
drek231 [11]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the question,

7x+4 = -19 + 5x

Now we add 19 to both sides,

7x + 4 + 19 = -19 + 19 + 5x

7x + 23 = 5x

Now we subtract 7x from both sides,

23 = -2x

We divide -2 from both sides,

x = -23/2

Now we plug this in into 2x - 14,

2(-23/2) - 14 = -23-14 = -37

Our answer is C
