I feel like it would be 5/12, but im not 100% sure
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic expression in this form, the first step is to multiply the number in front of with the last term, the constant (with the sign in front as well). This is the "multiplied number".
Step 2 is to come up with 2 numbers which when multiplied is equal to the "multiplied number" in step 1 above and also add to the number in front of .
For this problem, we would need 2 numbers that
- Add up to 27, and
- When multiplied, comes to -90 <em>(18 * -5 = -90)</em>
They already found the 2 numbers as expressed in the form shown . The 2 numbers are +32 and -5.
<em><u>Do they add up to 27, as required?</u></em>
Yes, 32-5=27
<u><em>Do they come to -90 when multiplied?</em></u>
No, 32 * -5 = -160
Hence, they add up, BUT NOT multiplied.
So the answer choice B is right.
Answer:
392 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Break this area into two parts, that is, into two trapezoids. The first trapezoid, on the left, has length 8 ft and average length (30 ft + 27 ft)/2, so its area is (8 ft)(28.5 ft) = 228 ft ².
The second trapezoid has width 8 ft and average length (19 + 22)/2 ft, or 8 ft by 20.5 ft). The area of this part is 164 ft².
Thus, the total area is 164 ft² + 228 ft², or 392 ft²
