A because (-5)^2 = 25 + 2(5) =35-1=34
When dividing by a multiple of 10, depending on if it's greater than 0, The decimal place would move. In this case, the decimal place in 34.5 would move more to the left making the answer 3.45.
For the first one a = 2.5. For the second one m = 4. For the third one m = -4
Answer: 225 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We find the area of the 4 triangle and the area of the rectangle and thereafter we add everything together.
Area of triangle 1 = 1/2 base × height
= 1/2 × 12 × 8
=96/2
=48
Area of triangle 2 = area of triangle 1= 48( because the opposite triangle are congruent so they have equal base and height)
Area of triangle 3 = 1/2×base×height
= 1/2 × 6 ×9.5
= 57/2
=28.5
Area of triangle 4=Area of triangle 3 = 57 (the opposite triangle are congruent and so they have the same base and height hence the same area)
Area of the rectangle = length×breadth
=12 × 6 =72
Total surface area = addition of all the areas of the triangles and the rectangle
Total surface area= 48+48+57+57+72 = 225
Therefore, the total surface area is 225 square feet
