A trapezoid has an area of 18 square miles. The bases are 5 miles and 7 miles. Using these measurements, the height of this trapezoid is how many miles

3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid has an area of 18 square miles. The bases are 5 miles and 7 miles. Using these measurements, the height of this trapezoid is how many miles

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2 (a + b)h

The formula for the height of a trapezoid =

h = 2(A/a + b)

A = 18 square miles

a = 5 miles

b = 7 miles

h = 2(18/5 + 7)

h = 2( 18/12)

h = 2 ( 9/6)

h = 3 miles

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
