Find the area of the shaded region.

Mathematics

RoseWind [281]3 years ago

Answer: 51 in²

Step-by-step explanation: Using the given diagram, we can find the area of the shaded region by taking the area of the larger rectangle minus the area of the area of the small rectangle.

To find the area of the large rectangle, we start with the formula for the area of a rectangle which is shown below.

Area = length · width

Since the length of the large rectangle is 15 in and the width is 5 in, we can plug this information into the formula to get 15 in · 5 in or 75 in.

So the area of the larger rectangle is 75 in.

To find the area of the small rectangle, we also use length · width which is simply 8 in · 3 in or 24 in. So the area of the small rectangle is 24 in.

Finally, remember that  the area of the shaded region is the area of the larger rectangle minus the area of the smaller rectangle which in this case will be 75 - 24 or 51

So the area of the shaded region is 51 in².

Amber is starting a garden. She plants 2 flowers the first month. The next month, she plans three times more flowers (6 flowers)
Artist 52 [7]
This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:

\begin{tabular}{lll}
Month & Number of flowers planted & Different form            \\
1     & 2                         & 2\cdot3^0 \\
2     & 6                         & 2\cdot3^1 \\
3     & 18                        & 2\cdot3^2 \\
4     & 54                        & 2\cdot3^3
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:
N=2\cdot3^{n-1}
This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.
