lol jokin

Answer 10

Ok. So we know that the area is 42. And we also know that the height is 6 or less. Normally whenever people try to figure out the area of a trapezoid, they combine the two bases, divide it by 2 and then multiply it by the height.

Answer 11

To do a reverse effect, try dividing 42 by 6.

Answer 12

7

Answer 13

Ok. That's the bases combined divided by two, if you undo the dividing (7 x 2 = 14) then chances are, the longer base is bigger than the height.

Answer 14

oh... why is that

Answer 15

Well, even when they were divided by 2, it was still bigger than 6, and the height could very well be less than 6. And because the longer base has to be...well, longer, it's definitely more than 7.

oh i see
