Communicate Mathematical Ideas Find the area of the figure. Explain how you found your answer. 10 ft 16 ft 12 ft 18 ft
sveta [45]
<h3>Answer:  300 square feet</h3>

Explanation:

The trapezoid has area of

A = h*(b1+b2)/2

A = 6*(10+18)/2

A = 84

The rectangle is 18 ft by 12 ft, which leads to an area of 18*12 = 216 sq ft.

Adding the two sub-areas gets us: 84+216 = 300

The total area of the house-shaped figure is 300 sq ft.

Line GH contains points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3). What is the slope of ?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>-\frac{9}{7}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3)

The slope is

m = -3 - 6 / 5 -- 2 = - 9 /7

Hope this helps you
