<MSR = 180-136 (virtue of complementary angles) = 44°
Answer:
21.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Counting the full squares: 16
Counting the squares that are more than 1/2: 6
The best estimate would be 21.5
You essentially have four triangles. The area of a triangle is: A=bh/2 (b=base length and h=height)
So the area is simply the sum of the four triangle areas...
A=(3*2)/2+(3*2)/2+(7*2)/2+(7*2)/2
A=20 ft^2
Here are the steps
1: Put the compass on Q and make the width equal to the distance from Q to L. Extend line LM towards the left side of L and draw an arc hitting the line segment on the left side of L
2. <span> Without changing the width and position of the compass, draw an arc between L and M.
3. Without changing the width of the compass, put the compass on the point of intersection of the arc and line LM (left side of L). Draw an arc above line LM.
4. Without changing the width of the compass, put the compass on the point of intersection of the arc and line LM (right side of L). Draw an arc above line LM.
5. Use a straight edge to make a line from the intersection of the two arcs above line LM to Q intersecting through L along the way. </span>
