Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a regular polygon then you can look up the formula or break it into shapes you do know the formula.

If it is irregular or a composite figure, break it into regular polygons which do have formulas to find the area. Here is an example:

Example:

Find the area of the composite figure by splitting the figure into two shapes - two rectangles.

One rectangle is 2 x 9 = 18.

The other rectangle is 2 x 4 = 8.

Together the area is 18 + 8 = 26.

1. Ruth Lockwood earns $2,917 a month as a supervisor for Acme

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a. 25%

b. $1560

c. $130

Step-by-step explanation:

If 75% is paid by company, the rest is paid by Ruth.

Out of 100%, 75% is paid by company, so Ruth pays 100 - 75 = 25%

Per year, the total amount paid is 6240, but Ruth pas 25% of this. So,

25% = 0.25

To get the answer, we multiply 0.25 with 6240.

0.25 * 6240 = 1560

So, $1560 is paid by Ruth annually.

Since 1560 is paid annually (in 12 months), each month Ruth has to pay:

1560/12 = $130

Hence, $130 is deducted each month from her paycheck

For the function f(x) = x + 5, what is the ordered pair for the point on the graph when x = 4w? (1 point)

Dominik [7]

We are given the function f(x) = x + 5 in which the abscissa chosen is at x = 4w. To find the ordinate or the y-component, we replace x with 4w in the equation given. In this case, y = 4w + 5. Hence the answer to this problem is B. (4w, 4w + 5)
