Composite figure is made up of 4 triangles and a square.
Area of Square = Length x Length
Area of Square = 12 x 12
Area of Square= 144 cm²
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle = 1/2 x 12 x 8
Area of triangle = 48 cm²
Area of 4 Triangles = 48 x 4
Area of 4 Triangles = 192 cm²
Total Area = 144 + 192 = 336 cm²
Both a discount and decrease will make the cost the same which is $225 for the object. I think that's what your asking. I'm sorry if it is not that helpful.
Alright, we're in the home stretch here :) All you need to remember is that i² = -1. Otherwise, it is the same as FOIL
(3-2i)(1+7i)
3-2i+21i-14i² ← Replace the i² with -1, then simplify like numbers
3+19i+14
17+19i or C
