441 is odd, so we can't divide it by 2.
Since the sum of its digits is , which is divisible by 3, we can divide 441 by 3, and we have
Which is still divisible by 3, because . We have
49 is not divisible by 3 anymore, nor by 5 (it doesn't end with 0 or 5).
It is divisible by 7 though, we have
and finally,
So, the factorization of 441 is
Step 1) Draw a line from point F to point S. A rectangle forms (rectangle FSCW)
Step 2) Find the area of this rectangle. The area is 18 square units because it is 2 units high and 9 units across (9*2 = 18). You can count out the spaces or you can note how we go from x = -4 to x = 5 so subtracting the values gives -4-5 = -9 which has an absolute value of 9.
Step 3) Find the area of triangle FSN. The base is 9 units and the height is 6 units (count out the spaces or subtract y values). So the area is A = b*h/2 = 9*6/2 = 54/2 = 27
Step 4) Add up the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle: 18+27 = 45
Final Answer: 45 square units
note: another way to find the answer is to find the area of rectangle WABC where point A is at (-4,4) and point B is at (5,4). Then subtract off the triangular areas of AFN and BNS
Answer:
m = 10/3
<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>
<em />
Step-by-step explanation:
5m - 8 = 2m + 2
5m - 8 = 2m + 2
- 2m - 2m <em>(make all "m" on one side to isolate variable)</em>
3m - 8 = 2
+ 8 + 8 <em>(get m entirely on 1 side)</em>
3m = 10
÷3 ÷3 <em>(divide by 3 to get 1m)</em>
m = 10/3
<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>
