Find the area of the figure.( sides meet at right angles.)picture below

Tema [17]

You can divide the figure as follows:

A vertical rectangle, 5 meters tall and 2 meters wide, on the top right.
A horizontal rectangle, 2 meters tall and 5 meters wide, on the bottom left
A 2x2 meters square on the bottom right, where the two rectangles meet.

The area of the rectangles is 5x2=10 meters squared, while the area of the square is 2x2=4 meters squared.

So, the total area is 10+4=14 meters squared.

Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be

Travka [436]

Answer:

D = L/k

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A represents the amount of litter present in grams per square meter as a function of time in years, the net rate of litter present is

dA/dt = in flow - out flow

Since litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, in flow = L

Since litter decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, the total amount of litter decay per square meter per year is A × k = Ak = out flow

So,

dA/dt = in flow - out flow

dA/dt = L - Ak

Separating the variables, we have

dA/(L - Ak) = dt

Integrating, we have

∫-kdA/-k(L - Ak) = ∫dt

1/k∫-kdA/(L - Ak) = ∫dt

1/k㏑(L - Ak) = t + C

㏑(L - Ak) = kt + kC

㏑(L - Ak) = kt + C' (C' = kC)

taking exponents of both sides, we have

$L - Ak = e^{kt + C'} \\L - Ak = e^{kt}e^{C'}\\L - Ak = C"e^{kt} (C" = e^{C'} )\\Ak = L - C"e^{kt}\\A = \frac{L}{k} - \frac{C"}{k} e^{kt}$

When t = 0, A(0) = 0 (since the forest floor is initially clear)

$A = \frac{L}{k} - \frac{C"}{k} e^{kt}\\0 = \frac{L}{k} - \frac{C"}{k} e^{k0}\\0 = \frac{L}{k} - \frac{C"}{k} e^{0}\\\frac{L}{k} = \frac{C"}{k} \\C" = L$
