Notice the picture below
the lateral area, or just the area of the sides, well, the sides are really just 4 triangles, so just get the area of each, and sum them up, that's the lateral area
Explanation:
This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:
Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)
<u>2×(-3)</u>
Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.
A image is shown below to represent the same.
<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>
2 1/2 is in mixed fraction. So let's first make it into improper fraction.
(2*2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
5/2 of 7.25 = (5*7.25) / 2 = 18.125
in short, 18.125 is the answer
<span>B.When x=-4, y=-9 and when x=2, y=3.
</span><span>3y-6x=-3
3(-9) - 6(-4)= -3
-27 +24 =-3
-3 = -3
</span>
<span>3y-6x=-3
3(3) -6 (2) = -3
9 - 12 = -3
-3 = -3
