Answer:

26 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's label the vertices of our figure first:

A = (-10, 2)

B = (-4, 2)

C = (-2, -4)

D = (1, -3)

E = (-1, 3)

F = (-7, 3)

We are drawing the line segment AE to divide our figure in parallelogram ABEF and rectangle BCDE.

The are of the figure will be the area of parallelogram ABEF plus the area of rectangle BCDE.

To find the area of ABEF, we are using the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

A=bh

Where

A is the area

b is the base

h is the height

The base of our parallelogram is the side AB. remember that the height of a parallelogram is the distance between two opposite sides; the sides of our parallelogram are AB and DF, so its height is h=3-2=1. Now to find the length of the base, we are using the distance formula:

distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2} +(y_2-y_1)^{2}}

where

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

(x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of the second point

Replacing values

d=\sqrt{[-4-(-10)]^{2} +(2-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-4+10)^{2} +(0)^{2}}[/tex[tex]d=\sqrt{(-6)^2}

d=\sqrt{36}

d=6

We now have all we need to find the area of ABEF:

A=bh

A=(6)(1)

A=6 square units

Now, to the find the area of BCDE, we are using the formula for the area of a rectangle:

A=wl

where

A is the area

w is the width

l is the length

The width of BCDE is BE and its length is BC. Using the distance formula again:

- For BE

d=\sqrt{[-1-(-4)]^{2} +(3-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-1+4)^{2} +(1)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(3)^{2} +1}

d=\sqrt{9 +1}

d=\sqrt{10}

- For BC

d=\sqrt{[-2-(-4)]^{2} +(-4-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-2+4)^{2} +(-6)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+36}

d=\sqrt{4+36}

d=\sqrt{40}

d=2\sqrt{10}

We now have all we need to find the area of BCDE:

A=wl

A=(\sqrt{10} )(2\sqrt{10} )

A=2(\sqrt{10})^2

A=2(10)

A= square units.

All we have left is add the areas of ABEF and BCDE:

Area of the figure = ABEF + BCDE

Area of the figure = 6 + 20

Area of the figure = 26 square units

Please help !!! What’s the answer to this??
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Average speed is distance/time. You could say, 12/6 = 2 miles per second and say that’s the answer, but we relate to mph so much better. Since there are 60 x 60 = 3600 sec in an hour, that same speed is:

2 x 3600 = 7,200 mph

No “car” can travel this fast. Some rocket cars have gone about 1/10th this speed.

Is it true that decimals that are converted to fractions should never be reduced
natta225 [31]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

See take 0.2 for example

In fraction it is 2/100 which can be easily reduced and should be reduced depending on the type of question.

1/50 would be the answer for my example.

Naya [18.7K]

\bf \sqrt{y}+3\sqrt{x}(2\sqrt{y})-\sqrt{xy}\implies \sqrt{y}+(3\cdot 2)\sqrt{x\cdot y}-\sqrt{xy} \\\\\\ \sqrt{y}+6\sqrt{xy}-\sqrt{xy}\implies \stackrel{\textit{adding like-terms}}{\sqrt{y}+5\sqrt{xy}}
