To be able to solve clearly this problem, the best thing to do is to plot the graph (see attached pic). From the graph we can see that the points form a trapezoid.
The base is formed by the segment connecting point A and point B.
While the two heights: shorter one by the segment connecting points A and D, and the longer one by the segment connecting points B and C.
The formula for area of trapezoid is given as:
A = b (h1 + h2) / 2
Where,
<span>b = base of the trapezoid = 3 – (-4) = 7</span>
h1 = shorter height = 2 – (-2) = 4
h2 = longer height = 2 – (-5) = 7
Therefore the area is:
A = 7 (4 + 7) / 2
A = 77 / 2
<span>A = 38.5 </span>
Hi there!
The next 2 terms are 250 and 1,250.
We have a geometric sequence, which means we use multiplication or division to get to the next term.
Here, we multiply by 5 to get to the next term.
So we multiply 50 by 5:
50*5=250
We multiply 250 by 5 to get to the next term:
250*5=1,250
And we're done!
<h2>Therefore, the next two terms are: 250 and 1,250.</h2>Hope this helps!
~Just a felicitous girlie
