Because it is extremely hard to find the area of this figure all together, it would be in our best interest to split this figure up into three different pieces: the two horizontal rectangles, and the verticle rectangle. We can find the area of all three and add them up. Be aware that there are two different ways that you can break this figure up, As shown in the attachments. I will be using the first image (the one with the tall horizontal rectangles, NOT the almost-squares).
So, we see that we have enough information to solve for the area of the left-most rectangle. Area = lw. 10 x 4 = 40, so the area is 40. Next, we have to notice, that the horizontal rectangles are also the same, so both of the areas of the two horizontal rectangles are 40.
Now, we can find the middle rectangle. We know that the length of the entire thing is 18, but it is taken up by 8 (4+4) of the horizontal triangles, so 18-8=10, so the length Is 10. We also know that the height of the horizontal rectangles is 10, so 10-3=7. Our dimensions for the rectangle are 10x7 or 70 square units. If we add them all together, 40+40+70=150.
The area is 150 square units
Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute
Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints
The formula, n P = 140, gives an approximate relationship between n and P where,
- n = number of steps per minute
- P = pace length in meters
- Bernard knows his pace length is 0.80 meters
- The formula applies to Bernard’s walking
We need to calculate Bernard’s walking speed in meters per minute and in kilometers per hour
∵ n = number of steps per minute
∴ n unit is number / minute
∵ P = pace length in meters
∴ P unit is meter
- That means n P unit is meters/minute
∴ n P represents the speed in meters per second
∵ The formula applies to Bernard’s walking
∵ His pace length is 0.80 meters
∵ n P = 140
∴ n(0.8) = 140
- Divide both sides by 0.8
∴ n = 175
- That means he moves 175 steps per minute
∵ The distance he walks in minute = 175 × 0.8 = 140 meters/minute
∴ His speed is 140 meters per minute
Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute
∵ 1 km = 1000 m
∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes
- Divide the meters by 1000 and the minute by 60 to change
from meters per minute to kilometers per hour
∴ His walking speed = ÷
- Change ÷ to × and reciprocal the fraction after the division sign
∴ His walking speed = ×
= 8.4 km/h
Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour
