James wants to tile his floor using tiles in the shape of a trapezoid. To make the pattern a little more interesting he has decided to cut the tiles in half
along the median. The top base of each tile is 13 inches in length and the
bottom base is 19 inches. How long of a cut will John need to make so that
he cuts the tiles along the median?

step-by-step explanation:

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
