Luckily for us, the diagram already divided this figure into separate polygons. What I will be explaining is basically the addition of the areas of all the separate polygons. The area of the uppermost triangle is:

1/2 x b x h
= 1/2 x 20 x 8
(the base is 20, because in a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent)
=10 x 8
= 80 in. squared

The next polygon we will be taking the area of is the parallelogram with the base length of 20 and the height of 16.

Area = b x h
= 20 x 16
= 320 in. squared

Now all we have left to do is add the two areas to obtain the total area.

Total Area = 320 + 80 = 400 in. squared

The point (2,-4) is on the line given by which equation below?

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C ) y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

(2, -4)

y = -2x

subsitute x for the value of x

y = -2(2)

-2 × 2 = -4

y = -4

the equation for the point (2, -4) is

y = -2x

A billboard designer has decided that a sign should have 4-ft margins at the top and bottom and 1-ft margins on the left and rig

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given x is the left-right width of the billboard and y is the height of the billboard. Therefore,

The total area of the billboard, A= x·y

The total printed area of the billboard, $A_p=(x-2)(y-8)$

Given in problem that the area of the billboard is 3600 ft².

x·y = 3600

y = (3600)/x

Substituting the value of y in the equation of the total printed area of the billboard,

$A_p = (x-2)(\dfrac{3600}{x}-8)\\\\A_p = 3600 -8x -\dfrac{7200}{x} + 16\\\\A_p =3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}$

Now, the value of x is needed to be minimum, therefore, differentiating the given function,

$\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =\dfrac{d}{dx}3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =-8 - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}$

Equate the differentiated function with 0,

$0=-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\8x = - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\x^3 = 900\\\\x = 9.655 ft.$

Hence, the value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.
