A concert stage is shaped like an isosceles trapezoid. The triangular sections on the sides are for the backup singers. The band takes up the rectangle in the middle. The rear of the stage is 125 feet wide, and the front is wider. The distance from front to rear is 9.5 feet. The base of each tnangular section is 4 feet. How much more area does the band have than the backup singers?

  1089 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangular areas can be combined for a total area that is 4 ft wide by 9.5 ft deep.

The rectangular area is 125 ft wide and 9.5 ft deep.

Area is the product of length and width, so we can compute the difference in areas as ...

   (125 ft -4 ft)(9.5 ft) = (121 ft)(9.5 ft) = 1089 ft²

The band has 1089 ft² more area than the backup singers.

the answer to the question is a  

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
