What is the area of the trapezoid shown below?

The height of the trapezoid is 3 because the triangle is a 3-4-5 triangle (Pythagorean triplets).

Now find area of the rectangle by L*W.

The area of the rectangle is 12.

Now find the area of the triangle.

Area of a triangle is height * base /2.

Therefore the area of the triangle is 4*3/2=6.

Now combine the area of the rectangle and triangle.

The area of the trapezoid is 18.

check the picture below.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
