As many points as I can give and a brainliest and a new friend, please help me!!!
Use the formula for the area of a triangle to develop formulas for the following shapes. Use diagrams to support your argument.
a. a parallelogram (the area of a parallelogram is , use the triangle formula to explain where this comes from)
b. a trapezoid (the area of a trapezoid is , use the triangle formula to explain where this comes from)

See the attached picture.

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
