Question

which equation represents the area,y, of the trapezoid​

Answer 1

Answer:

C.  y =  x^2 + 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid = (h/2)(a + b)   where h is the altitude and a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides.

So here

Area y  = (x/2)(8 + 2x)

= 8x/2 + 2x^2/2

= 4x + x^2.
