One base of a trapezoid is decreasing at a rate of 888 kilometers per second and the height of the trapezoid is increasing at a rate of 555 kilometers per second. The other base of the trapezoid is fixed at 444 kilometers. At a certain instant, the decreasing base is 121212 kilometers and the height is 222 kilometers. What is the rate of change of the area of the trapezoid at that instant (in square kilometers per second)

5 rate decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

One base of the trapezoid is decreasing at a rate of 8 kilometers per second and height of the trapezoid is increasing at rate 5

linear pair postulates

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
