A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to determine b2, the length in inches of the second base of the trapezoid. 12(4.5+b2)(6)=21

5 x 14?

im new, sorry if this is wrong.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)

you can use a^2+ b^2=c^2
