to the risk of sounding redundant, as the previous posting is absolutely correct.

Check the picture below.

we know the circum-inscribing figure is a square, namely a 23x20, so it has an area of 23*20 = 460 ft².

the distance from the bottom up, is 20, however to the tip of the triangle is 12, so the diffference is 20 - 12 = 8, meaning the triangle, in yellow, has a height/altitude of 8 ft, and we know its base is 23 ft.

so if we simply take the whole area of the square, and then subtract the area of the triangle, we're in effect making a whole in the squarish area, and what's leftover is the shaded area.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{square's area}}{(23\cdot 20)}~~~~-~~~~\stackrel{\textit{triangle's area}}{\cfrac{1}{2}(23)(8)}\implies 460~~-~~92\implies 368~ft^2

Answer: 368 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretend it is a square and multiply both sides (23*20=460). The triangle that is cut out has an area of 92 (23*8/2). We know the height of the triangle is 8 because 20-12. We subtract 460-92 and get our answer. :)

I need help it’s a quiz

Answer:

Question 6: 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.

Question 7: 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 6 explanation: Since the expression is 22 crowns plus 13 ribbons plus 2 ribbons plus 4 crowns, you can think of the different items as variables in an equation. Picture crowns are the variable x, and ribbons as the variable y, this will help you solve the equation in an easier way that allows you to comprehend each step better. The equation will now be 22x+13y+2y+4x, in order to find how many x (crowns) and y (ribbons) you have, you need to combine like terms in the expression. In other words, add the terms with the variable x together, and add the terms with the variable y together. Simplified, the equation will be 26x+15y. Since the variables x and y were used to represent crowns and ribbons respectively, that means the correct answer is 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.

Question 7 explanation: You can use the same method as you did in question 6, think of footballs and basketballs as the variables x and y respectively. The equation will be 16x+38y-6x+4y = 10x+42y. Since the variable x was used to represent footballs and the variable y was used to represent basketballs, that means the correct answer would be 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.

3x=15-6y in slope intercept form
sdas [7]

Answer:  y= -1/2x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 15 -6y

+6y       + 6y

3x +6y =15

-3x           -3x

6y= 15-3x   divide both sides by 6

y= 15/6 - 3/6x

in slope intercept form us y= -3/6x + 15/6  in simplest form is y= -1/2x + 5/2

PLEASE HELP NOW! I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 congruent chords in the circle, then they are equidistant from the centre and perpendicular

There is a right triangle formed by legs 15 and 8, with radius r being the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras' identity in this right angle

r² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289 ( take the square root of both sides )

r = \sqrt{289} = 17
