Answer:
Area of green trapezoid would be:
(length of two parallel sides × h) ÷ 2
( 5cm x 2cm) ÷ 2
= 5 square centimetres
Area of the orange trapezoid would be:
(length of two parallel sides x h) ÷ 2
(10.5 cm × 3) ÷ 2
( 31. 5) ÷ 2
(15. 75 square centimetres
NOTE: h represents height
Answer:
The comet might intersect the orbiting planet at (0, -4),
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, a planet follows an elliptical path described by
.........(1)
A comet follows the parabolic path
.........(2)
To find the intersecting point, we need to solve the above equations.
Putting
in the equation (1)







When y = -4 , then

When
, then

The comet might intersect the orbiting planet at (0, -4),
.
Rectangle on top is 4 units by 8 units = 32 units squared.
The half circle has radius 2, so the area is pi*2^2/2 = 4pi /2 = 2pi
Total area is 32+2pi or approx 38.28 square units, answer C
