17/8..........................................
8 ... u gotta add 5+3 which is 8 soo ya\ prolly wrong (I kinda stink at math)but whatevs
18.5 would be the answer and here’s my work
72y+108z Factored is 36(2y+3z). So I guess the 2 factors will be 2y and 3z??
There are a number of ways this can be done. One that is fairly simple is as follows.
Triangle ABC has base AC = 9 and height B to AC of 3 (found by counting squares). Thus its area is ∆ABC = (1/2)·9·3 = 13.5 square units.
Triangle ACF has base AC = 9 and height F to AC of 3, so will have the same area as triangle ABC, 13.5 square units.
Trapezoid CDEF has base CD of 6, base EF of 4 and height EF to CD of 6 (found by counting squares). Thus its area is CDEF = (1/2)(6 + 4)(6) = 30.
The total area of the entire figure is then
... ∆ABC + ∆ACF + CDEF = 13.5 + 13.5 + 30 = 57 square units.
