Identify the area of the trapezoid.

112x m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 ( b1+ b2) h

 where b1 and b2 are the bases

A = 1/2 ( 11x+17x) * 8

   = 1/2 ( 28x)8

   = 112x m^2

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
