Answer:
all work is pictured and shown
Answer:
249 centimeters squared
Step-by-step Explanation:
The area of the rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
= 15.5 x 18
= 279
Area of the smaller rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
= 4 x 7.5
= 30
We do not need this 30.
Area of the shaded region:
= 279 - 30
= 249 cm²
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b, then
ratio of areas = a² : b²
Here ratio of sides = 52 : 68 = 13 : 17 ← in simplest form, thus
ratio of areas = 13² : 17² = 169 : 289 = 
All you have to do is divide 500 by 3.
500 divided by 3 is 166.666667
I hope this helps:)
