Answer:
The complete area of the given figure is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of rows = 2
Squares in each row = b
So, the total number of squares in 2 rows = 2 x ( Squares in 1 row ) = 2 x b
Also, side length of 1 square = b cm
As we know, AREA OF SQUARE = SIDE x SIDE
So here, area of 1 square = Side x side = b cm x b cm = 
⇒ The area of total (2b) squares = 2 b x ( Area of 1 square)

Hence, the complete area of the given figure is 
The correct answer is option 2
Answer:
Choice D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to write the polar equation of the conic section in standard form by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2;

The eccentricity of this conic section is thus 1, the coefficient of cos θ. Thus, this conic section is a parabola since its eccentricity is 1.
The value of the directrix is determined as;
d = k/e = 3/1 = 3
The denominator of the polar equation of this conic section contains (-cos θ) which implies that this parabola opens towards the right and thus the equation of its directrix is;
x = -3
Thus, the polar equation represents a parabola that opens towards the right with a directrix located at x = -3. Choice D fits this criteria
1) first you multiply each side by -2
1a) that clears the -1/2
x = -12
