Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height
                            = 0.5 x 2.5 x 8.75
                            = 10.94 (units squared)

My Geometry teacher used to say, 

"My students, ahh. Textbooks. They say, 'My pretty little students, here's a formula! I will give you numbers and you plug it in.' Then he would say, 'I don't like textbooks. I'm a rebel! So, I derive the formula.'" 

He made us derive it. But the formula is this: 1/2 x b x h. Why? The real formula is because two equal triangles are both HALF of a PARALLELOGRAM. 

Parallelogram area formula is b x h, or base x height. So half of that? 
(b x h) / 2, or 1/2 x b x h.

Plug this in. 

Assuming your triangle is equilateral, I plug in 2.5 for the base and 8.75 for the height. 

So, what's 1/2 x 2.5 x 8.75?

It's 10.9375.

Rounded, it's 10.94.

You have it.

Just remember, it's about WHY this formula works.

hram777 [196]
There are multiple ways in which Anita can divide the sheet of paper for her calendar. First she can have it halved first then, divided by 6 or she can have it divided by 4 and divided each quarter by 3. Either way, each month would take up 1/12 of the total area of the paper.

Given the definitions of f(x) and g(x) below, find the value of g(f(-1)).
Reptile [31]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -4x – 7 \\ plug \: x =  - 1 \\ f( - 1) =  - 4( - 1) - 7 = 4 - 7 =  - 3 \\g(x) = x² + 7x – 2 \\g(f( - 1)) =  {( - 3)}^{2}  + 7( - 3) - 2 \\  = 9 - 21 - 2 \\= - 14
