Jim says that a 2 1/2 inche by 3 1/4 inch rectangle has a section that is 2 inches x 3 inches and a section that is 1/2 inch x 1

/4 inch.That means that area is just the sum of these two smaller areas, or 6 1/8 inches times 2 powers of ten.Why is Jim incorrect?Use an area model to explain your thinking.Then,give the correct area of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle is 8¹/₈ in²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Area of Square = (Length of Side)²

Perimeter of Square = 4 × (Length of Side)

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )

Area of Rhombus = ½ × ( Diagonal₁ + Diagonal₂ )

Perimeter of Rhombus = 4 × ( Length of Side )

Area of Kite = ½ × ( Diagonal₁ + Diagonal₂ )

Perimeter of Kite = 2 × ( Length of Side₁ + Length of Side₂ )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

Length of Rectangle = L = 2¹/₂ in

Width of Rectangle = W = 3¹/₄ in

<u>Unknown:</u>

Area of Rectangle = A = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

This problem is about Area of Rectangle.

\texttt{Area of Rectangle} = \texttt{Length} \times \texttt{Width}

A = L \times W

A = 2 \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \frac{1}{4}

A = (2 + \frac{1}{2}) \times (3 + \frac{1}{4})

A = (2 \times 3) + (\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}) + ( 2 \times \frac{1}{4} ) + ( 3 \times \frac{1}{2} )

A = 6 + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{2}

A = 6\frac{1}{8} + 2

A = \boxed {8\frac{1}{8} ~ \texttt{in}^2}

<em>Jim is incorrect because he only calculated 2 of the 4 available sections of the rectangle </em><em>( as shown in the diagram ).</em>

The table shows three unique functions.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

<h2>All three functions have a y-intercept.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is attached, there you can observe functions f(x), g(x) and h(x).

Remember, when x = 0, it represents a y-intercept. So, we can deduct that all three functions have y-intercept, (0,1) for f(x), (0, -1/2) for g(x) and (0,-5) for h(x).

Also, x-values represent domain values, however, in this case, we can't say that all three function have the same domain values, because we don't know the domain defintion for each of them to determine such thing.

Additionally, in the table you can observe that f(x) has the greatest maxium, so the second choice is also false. And neither function has x-intercept.

Therefore, the only right answer is the third choice.
