What is the area of the trapezoid shown

A = _ units²

The answer is -15 units 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First step:  Find the location of the four points two on the bottom two on the top.

So if you look closely you see that B=  -4   C=   2 and when you add those together you get -6

For the top one you see that D= 9  E=  -4   A=  -8  and when you add those together you get top the answer -18

last you add the two numbers together which is -18+ -6 which equals 24

And the reason it is a positive number is because when both numbers have the same symbol it becomes a positive. When the symbols are different the answer is negative

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
