I’m not sure if it’s correct but I think you have to find the slope in order to get your answer
The square foot (plural square feet; abbreviated sq. ft, sf, or ft2; also denoted by '2) is an imperial unit and U.S. customary unit (non-SI, non-metric) of area, used mainly in the United States and partially in Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore and the United Kingdom.[citation needed] It is defined as the area of a square with sides of 1 foot.
Although the pluralisation is regular in the noun form, when used as an adjective, the singular is preferred. So, a flat measuring 700 square feet could be described as a 700 square-foot flat. This corresponds to common linguistic usage of foot.
Answer:
y = (3/2)x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept
The slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is (0, -3)
y = (3/2)x -3
EF = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
The square of side 18 in is divided into 3 parts of equal area by the polygonal chain
So we have
Area of the figure ABCE = Area of the figure AECF = Area of the figure AFCD
Step 2 :
Area of figure ABCE is Area of the triangle AME + Area of the trapezium EMBC
Area of triangle AME = 1/2(ME )(AM) where ME is the base and AM = 9 is the height of the triangle ( AM = 9 since M is the midpoint of AB)
Area of triangle AME = 1/2(ME )9 = 9/2(ME)
Area of the trapezium EMBC = 1/2(ME +BC)(MB) Where ME and BC are the 2 parallel sides and MB is the distance between them
Area of the trapezium EMBC = 1/2(ME+18)9 = 9/2(ME+18)
Therefore
Area of figure ABCE = 9/2(ME) + 9/2(ME+18)
= 9/2(ME +ME+18)
But we know that the area of this figure is 1/3 of the area of the square = 1/3(18*18) = 108
So, 9/2(ME +ME+18) = 108 => 2 ME + 18 = 24 = > ME = 3
Step 3 :
Using the same procedure as above we get, FN = 3
Also we have
ME + EF + FN = 18 ( side of the square)
3 + EF + 3 = 18 => EF = 12
