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.)

What is a solution for 11/12
elena-s [515]

Answer:

It is either 11/12 or 0.91666666667.....

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this can not be actually divided into a "number" like 2 or 5, we can only get a approximate. Like the top answer.

Round to the nearest ten is 0.9

Round it to nearest hundredths is 0.92

What does a a isolate variable mean?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Isolating a variable means rearranging an algebraic equation so that a different variable is on its own. The goal is to choose a sequence of operations that will leave the variable of interest on one side and put all other terms on the other side of the equal sign.
