The calculation is incorrect, because the slope is defined as

m_{AB} = \dfrac{y_A-y_B}{x_A-x_B}

So, Emma has inverted numerator and denominator: she has calculated the inverse of the slope.

The correct calculation would be

\dfrac{300-900}{180-165} = \dfrac{-600}{15} = -40

Find the area enclosed by the figure. Use 3.14 for π. (The figure is not to scale).<br><br>​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

97.27 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the area of the right triangle on the left side. To do that, multiply 6x5, then divide the product by 2, since a right triangle is half a rectangle.

6x5=30

30/2=15

Area of triangle=15 yd²

Find area of the middle rectangle. So multiply the length by the width.

9x6=54

Area of rectangle=54 yd²

Find area of the half circle. Formula for area of circle is A=\pi r^{2}. Pi is about 3.14, and radius (r) is 3. Radius is half of the diameter of circle, and the 6 on the left says the diameter of circle.

\pix3^{2}≈28.27

Area of circle is about 28.27 yd²

Add up the three areas.

15+54+28.27=97.27
