Answer:not the answer person but wouldn't it be 4 cause it's not more then half of the number lol.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the expression.
24
The ratio would be if it was not reduced, 9:36. If it was reduced it would be 1:4
Let
x-------> the length side of the original cube
we have

Divide by
both sides

The system of equations is equal to
--------> equation 
--------> equation 
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
we know that
the solution of the system of equations is the intersection both graphs
therefore
the solution is

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>

ANSWER
80 units²
EXPLANATION
One way to solve this is to find the area of the blue square and the subtract the areas of the red triangles:
The blue square is 12 units long by 12 units wide. Its area is:

Then, the area of the big triangle, which has a base 12 units long and a height of 10 units, is:

The smaller triangle has a base of 4 units and a heigth of 2 units. Its area is:

So the total area of the figure is:
