Answer: 12 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

BC ==> Base of triangle

Divide the triangle in two parts:

BC/2=BC'

6/2=BC'

BC'=3

Distance formula: a^2+b^2=c^2

c^2-a^2=b^2

5^2-3^2=b^2

25-9=b^2

b^2=16

b=4 ==> height of triangle

Area of triangle=A. b=base. h=height

A=1/2 * b * h=

A=1/2 * 6 * 4

A=1/2 * 24

A=12 cm^2

PLEASE HELP!!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! Explain how to use estimation to help find the product of two decimals. Give an example

san4es73 [151]

You can use estimation to find the product of two decimals by rounding both the decimal’s so the nearest tenth or tens place (depending on how long it is) and then multiplying the decimals.

for example, if you had 4.6 and 8.9, you have to round the 4.6 and 8.9. you round the 4.6 up to 5 because the 6 bumps the 4 up to 5) and then round 8.9 to 9 (because the 9 bumps the 8 up to 8.) then, multiply 5 and 9 and you get 45!

Answer:

280 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the nonshaded portion, we can find the area of the entire floor and then subtract the shaded area.

The total area is that of a rectangle: 30 * 15 = 450 ft squared.

Now, the shaded region is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

- The rectangle has length 8 and width 10, so its area is 10 * 8 = 80 ft squared.

- The triangle has base 12 and height 15, so using the area of a triangle formula: $A=(bh)/2$ (where b is the base and h is the height) = (12 * 15)/2 = 180/2 = 90 ft squared.
