Answer: draw a diagonal line
Step-by-step explanation:
like this:
since it's going up, it's a positive slope
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Given:
Compound shape
To find:
The area of the compound shape.
Solution:
The compound shape is splitted into two parallelograms.
<u>Bottom parallelogram:</u>
Base = 7.5 cm
Height = 5 cm
Area of the parallelogram = base × height
                                            = 7.5 × 5
                                            = 37.5 cm²
The area of the Bottom parallelogram 37.5 cm².
<u>Top parallelogram:</u>
Base = 7.5 cm
Height = 4.5 cm
Area of the parallelogram = base × height
                                            = 7.5 × 4.5
                                            = 33.75 cm²
The area of the top parallelogram 33.75 cm².
Compound shape = 37.5 + 33.75
                                = 71.25 cm²
The area of the compound shape is 71.25 cm².
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Correct choice is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Two vertices of the rectangle have coordinates A(-1, 5) and B(2, 1). If rectangle sides are parallel to the axes, then two remaining vertices have coordinates C(-1,1) and D(2,5) (see attached diagram for details).
Find the length and the width:

Then the length is 1 unit longer than the width.
