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

Write the equation of a line Parallel to the given line and passes through points (-4, -3); (2, 3). Hints find the slope by usin

julia-pushkina [17]

First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line

$\text{gradient, m}_1\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\text{ = }\frac{3-(-3)}{2-(-4)}=\frac{6}{6}\text{ = 1}$

Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,

$m_1=m_2$

Thus

$m_2\text{ = 1}$

Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)

Using

$\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + c} \\ \text{where m = m}_2\text{ = 1} \\ \text{and x = -4 , y = -3, we have} \\ -3\text{ = 1(-4) + c} \\ -3\text{ = -4 + c} \\ 4\text{ - 3 = c} \\ c\text{ = 1} \\ \text{Thus, the equation of the line is y = (1)x + 1} \\ y\text{ = x + 1} \end{gathered}$
