Calculate the area of trapezium cdef.

We are given the two bases of the trapezium:

The formula for the area of the trapezium is

So, we only need to figure out the length of the height EF.

We know that FA+EF = 11. Also, we're given that the perimeter of ABCF is 28, which means

So, we can deduce

And so we're ready to use the solving formula:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
