What is the area of the trapezoid in the coordinate plane?

36 unit^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the rectangular portion = 8 x 3 = 24 unit^2

the area of the triangular portion = 1/2 x 8 x 3 = 12 unit^2

total area of the trapezoid = 36 unit^2

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
