The table below shows changes in the area of several trapezoids as the lengths of the bases, b1 and b2, remain the same and the height, h, changes.Which formula best represents the relationship between A, the areas of these trapezoids, and h, their heights?

Answer: A=6h

The area of a trapezoid is given by A = 0.5 * (b1 + b2) * h. If the bases b1 and b2 remain constant (e.g., b1+b2 = 12), then the formula simplifies to A = 0.5 * 12 * h, which is A = 6h. This formula would accurately represent the relationship between the area and height in the given table.

Daniella wrote a decimal and a fraction which were equivalent to each other. Which pair of numbers could be the pair Daniella wrote?

Answer: 0.375,38

To check for equivalence, convert the fraction 3/8 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. This decimal matches 0.375, confirming that 0.375 and 3/8 are an equivalent pair.
