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:

It is given that the tiles are of the shape of trapezoid and The top base of each tile is 13 inches in length and the bottom base is 19 inches.

Now, mid segment of the trapezoid s given as:

where a is the top base and b is the bottom base of the trapezoid. Thus, on substituting the given values, we get

Therefore, John will need 16 inches of a cut to make  so that he cuts the tiles along the median.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

a

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
