Find the area of the composite figures. Use 3.14 (pie) when needed

Mathematics
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

  1. 288 cm²
  2. 61 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashed lines are included in the figure to help you see how it can be decomposed into shapes you know the area formulas for.

The relevant area formulas are ...

  rectangle: A = LW . . . . . product of length and width

  triangle: A = 1/2bh . . . . . half the product of base and height

__

<h3>1.</h3>

There are three rectangles here:

  left: A = (8 cm)(9 cm) = 72 cm²

  top: A = (12 cm)(9 cm) = 108 cm²

  lower right: A = (12 cm)(9 cm) = 108 cm²

The total area of these three rectangles is ...

  (72 +108 +108) cm² = 288 cm²

The area of Figure 1 is 288 cm².

__

<h3>2.</h3>

There is a rectangle here, along with a triangle.

  rectangle: A = (10 ft)(4 ft) = 40 ft²

  triangle: A = 1/2(6 ft)(3+4 ft) = 21 ft²

The total area of the parts of the figure is ...

  (40 +21) ft² = 61 ft²

The area of Figure 2 is 61 ft².

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Figure 1 can be decomposed other ways:

  • an overall 18×20 cm rectangle with a 9×8 cm rectangle removed from the upper left corner
  • a 9×20 rectangle at the bottom with a 9×12 rectangle at the top
  • a 9×8 rectangle at the left with an 18×12 rectangle at the right

Another way to decompose Figure 2 is as a trapezoid with a rectangle removed from the lower left. The trapezoid would have bases 10 and 10+6=16, and a height of 4+3=7. The removed rectangle is 10×3. (The computation we did is probably simpler.)

In Mr. Harold's class there are 12 students. They each have 5 pencils. Some of the students, s, each lost 2 pencils. Now, the st
Katena32 [7]
The answer would be C. (12 x 5) - (s x 2) = 38.

This is because if there are 12 students with 5 pencils per student, we can say 12 x 5. Then, think of the phrase, two pencils lost per student. That would be 2s, or (s x 2). Since it’s lost, we would subtract that amount from 12 x 5.

Joe began to increase the speed of his car at 2:00 P.M. Since that time,the speed of Joes car has been steadily increasing by 1
Olegator [25]

Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in \frac{1}{1.5} minutes

Hence

10.50 mph will be increased in \frac{1}{1.5} \times 10.50 minutes

= \frac{10.5}{1.5}

=7

Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.

Logan measured a line to be 7.4 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 7.7 inches, then what was the percent error of
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4.0541

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if this is correct but this is what I got.

You would take the error and divide it by the theoretical value and then multiply that by 100.

7.7 - 7.4 = 0.3

0.3 ÷ 7.4 = 0.04054054

0.04054054 x 100 = 4.05405405 (simplify) = 4.0541%

Hope I helped in any way
