Answer questions 15 and 17 show work pls

#15) B. 30 mn^5

#17) B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given in the formula: 1/2(a + b) * h, where a is the length of the top of the trapezoid, b is the length of the bottom of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid.

All of these measurements are given so all that you need to do is to substitute these values into the formula.

Substitute 3 for a, 9 for b, and 5 for h.

Solve inside the parentheses first. Add 3 and 9.

Multiply 12 and 1/2 together.

Multiply 6 and 5.

We need to figure out if the area is to the 5th or 6th power. When we added 3 and 9 together, we combined like terms so the exponent stayed to the 3rd power.

After multiplying this ^3 by the 5mn^2, the exponent becomes to the 5th power because you add exponents when multiplying.

Therefore the final answer is B. 30 mn^5.

When going down from 32 to 8 to 2, you can see that each number is being divided by 4.

32 / 4 = 8...

8 / 4 = 2...

So to find the next number in this sequence you would divide 2 by 4.

The answer is B. 1/2.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
