Answer:

  27

Step-by-step explanation:

Name the midpoint of BC point M and the midpoint of CD point N.

Triangle ABM has the 1/4 the area of the rectangle, 18. Triangle ADN also has 1/4 the area of the rectangle, 18. Triangle CMN has 1/8 the area of the rectangle, 9. That is, of the rectangle area, ...

  18 + 18 + 9 = 45

are not included in triangle AMN. So, the area of that triangle is ...

  72 -45 = 27 . . . . units²

_____

<em>Comment on the triangle area</em>

The triangle created by joining the midpoint of the side of a rectangle with an opposite vertex will have the same dimension as the rectangle in one direction (L), and half the dimension of the rectangle in the other direction (W). Thus, where the rectangle area is LW, the triangle area is (1/2)(L)(1/2W) = (1/4)LW, 1/4 the area of the rectangle.

Similarly, if the midpoints of adjacent sides are joined to form a triangle, the area of that is (1/2)(1/2L)(1/2W) = (1/8)LW, or 1/8 the area of the rectangle.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a a square and the length of BE is 6 cm.<br><br>What is the length of AC?
Aloiza [94]

The answer is: 12 centimeters.

The explanation is shown below:

1. By definition, all four sides of the square are equal and the diagonals are equal too.

2. Keeping the information above on mind, you know that AC and BD are equal:

AC=BD

3. Then, the length of BD is twice BE. So, you can calculate it as following:

BD=2BE

BD=2(6cm)\\BD=12cm

4. Therefore, the lenght of AC is:

AC=12cm

I don’t know how to do this. Ignore my work it’s probably wrong. Please help.
wariber [46]

Check the picture below.

A)

well, we start off by making a table of values for the function, with a few "t" values, as you see in the picture, then graph those points to get the graph.

B)

at t = 0, h(0) = 98, and at t = 1, h(1) = 82, so it went from 98 to 82, for a difference of 16.

C)

at t = 1, h(1) = 82, and at t = 2 h(2) = 34, so it went from 82 to 34, for a difference of 48.

does it fall the same distance on both intervals? well, they're different, so nope.

natali 33 [55]

Answer: see Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

THE GAINEY'S:

Recursive Formula :

A1 = $10

An = An-1 + $10

A2 = $10 + $10 = $20

Where n = day of the month

Explicit formula :

y = a + b(c - 1)

WHERE:

y = final amount

initial amount = a

Increment on initial amount = b

Day of the month = c

THE ARNOLD'S :

Recursive formula:

First day of the month (A1) = $10

An = 2(An-1)

A2 = 2(A1) = 2(10) = $20

A3 = 2(A2) = 2(20) =$40

Explicit formula:

y = a(b)^c

Where :

y = final amount

initial amount = a

Increment on initial amount = b

Day of the month = c

LekaFEV [45]

I think I know how to do it


Your equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂


You Know:

Initial:

P₁ = 84 Pa

V₁ = 336 L


New:

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 216L


Plug this into the equation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

(84 Pa)(336 L) = P₂(216 L)     Divide 216 on both sides

\frac{(84Pa)(336L)}{216L}=\frac{(P_{2})(216L)}{216L}

130.6666666 = P₂    

(if your doing significant figures, you have 2 sig figs)

130 Pa = P₂
