Hi there!
Find the total area by breaking the figure into two rectangles, one trapezoid, and one triangle.
Rectangles:
A = l × w
A = 2.75 × 4 = 11 in²
Solve for the other rectangle's length by subtracting from the total:
12 - 2 - 3 - 4 = 3
A = 3 × 3 = 9 in²
Total rectangle area: 11 + 9 = 20 in²
Trapezoid:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
A = 1/2(4.25 + 2.75)3 = 21/2 = 10.5 in²
Triangle:
A = 1/2(bh)
A = 1/2(2.5 · 2) = 2.5 in²
Add up all of the areas:
20 + 10.5 + 2.5 = 33 in²
Answer:
a. Earnings of Enguun for 12 hours this month (G)
G = 204 dollars
b. Earnings of Enguun for 19.5 hours last month (G)
G = 331.5 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Nomenclature
G: Total earnings of Enguun in dollars
E: Enguun's earnings for 1 hour of tutoring (dollars/hour)
n: number of hours that Enguun tutored per month (hour/month)
Formula
G = E*n
E = $17 per hour = 17 dollars/hour
Problem development
a. Earnings of Enguun for 12 hours this month
n = 12 hours
G = E*n
: We eliminate hours
G = 204 dollars
b. Earnings of Enguun for 19.5 hours last month
G = E*n
G = 17 * 19.5
G = 331.5 dollars
