To find the area of his exclusion zone you would need to understand that a triangle with dimensions of 3, 4, and 5 represent a right triangle.

This means the exclusion zone would be applied to the base and the height of the triangular space.

You would add 2 km to the 3 km, and 2 km to the 4 km to create a new height of 5 km and a new base of 6 km.

Please see the attached picture to understand this.

You will find the area of the total space created by the new triangle and subtract the space represented by the original triangle to find the area of the exclusion zone.

(1/2 x 6 x 5) - (1/2 x 4 x 3)
15 km² -6 km² equals 9 km².

The exclusion space is 9 km².

Answer:

0.525 is the number.

X = 0.84/1.6

X = 0.525

Please answer this question !! 20 points and brainliest !!

Answer:

  yes, they are parallel; the general form equation differs only in the constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract y from the first equation and multiply by 2.

  y -y = 1/2x -y +3

  0 = x -2y +6

  x -2y +6 = 0 . . . . . put in general form

Compared to the second equation, we see the only difference is in the constant, +6 vs. -8.

This means the lines are parallel.
