Answer:
A is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
A has no solution because since the slopes are the same, setting both equations equal to each other will cancel out the slopes and result in 8=16, meaning no solution will make both sides equal to each other.
B does have a solution because of different slopes
C does have a solution because of different slopes
D does have a solution because of different slopes
The answer is 73.5
To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.
5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)
To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)
9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.
Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.
