Given: 
Sum of arithmetic sequence is 21.
Product of arithmetic sequence is 315.

I did a manual computation. Arithmetic sequence means that there is a constant difference between the two consecutive numbers.

x + (x+2) + (x + 2 + 2) = 21
3x + 6 = 21
3x = 21 - 6
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5    1st number

x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 2nd number

x + 2 + 2 = 5 + 2 + 2 = 9  3rd number.

5 + 7 + 9 = 21
5 x 7 x 9 = 315

These three terms can be written as a-d, a, a+d
Then (a-d)+a+(a+d)=21, i.e. 3a=21 and a=7.
So,
7(7-d)(7+d)=315
7²-d²=315/7=45
d²=49-45=4
d=2 or d=-2.
Thus, we have terms 5,7,9 or 9,7,5.

First you need to find area of square which is side x side which is 8x8 which is 64. Then you find the side of the triangle which is 14-8 which is 6 then you need to find the height of the dotted line I’m pretty sure there’s a formula but it looks like it’s 8 because it looks like a square so then the formula of a triangle is base times height divided by two so the base is 6 and height is 8 so 6x8 which is 48 and divided by two is 24 then you add the area of the triangle and the area of the square which is 64 so 64+24 which is 88 so I’m pretty sure the area is 88 then just put whatever units after :)

because the angles in a rectangle are 90 degrees it is not a parallelogram true or false? please explain why
ra1l [238]
<span>A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape where opposites sides are parallel. A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram. All rectangles are parallelograms.

But a rectangle is a shape where opposites sides are parallel *and* all the corners are 90 degree angles. So you can't say that all parallelograms would be rectangles. Some parallelograms would be rectangles, but not all.

Rectangles are a subset of the shapes called parallelograms. But parallelograms are *not* a subset of the shapes called rectangles.

It's similar to saying all cars are vehicles. But you can't say that all vehicles are cars. </span>
