Sample Response: Plot each point in the coordinate plane. Find the distance between points to find that the base is 3 units and the height is 12 units. Apply the area formula, A = bh. 3 x 12 = 36 square units.

the formula for area of a rectangle is

Area = length x width

since both the length and the width of the rectangle lie on the same x and y axis, we can find the distance between the width and the distance between the length by subtracting

(-4,9) (-4,-3)

these points lie on the same x axis, so they create a vertical line

9-(-3) = 12

12 units is the distance between them

(-4,-3) (-1,-3)

these points lie on the same y axis, so they create a horizontal line

-1-(-4) = 3

3 units is the distance between them

now that we have the length and the width, we can find the area

A = 12 x 3

A = 36 units²

1. 10(.15)=1.5
Fed [463]

Answer:

6.14125(0.15) = 0.9211875 (below 1)

6.14125 - 0.92118 = 5.22007

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

1. 10(.15)=1.5

2. 10-1.5=8.5

3. 8.5 (.15)=1.275

4. 8.5-1.275=7.225

continuation the sequence

5)    7.225 (0.15) = 1.08375

6)    7.225 -  1.08375 = 6.14125

7)  <u> 6.14125(0.15) = 0.9211875   (below -one)</u>

8 ) <u> 6.14125 - 0.9211875 = 5.2200625 (get number 5)</u>

9)   5.2200625(0.15) = 0.783009

10) 5.2200625 - 0.783009 = 4.4370532
