Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rationalize the denominator by multiplying both denominator & numerator by the conjugate of the denominator.
Conjugate of the denominator 1 + √3 is 1 - √3

I'm not 100% sure but my best guess would be a rectangle. ( do not give brainliest if wrong, i wanna make sure its right)
Okay, it's the equation to how find area any other way. A=L×W
This means *picture above*
So then you count over each line meaning 1.
This means L=9 and a 1/2. Since its in between the 2 an 3 on the x-axis.
Now for W or width. It equals 3 since you can count 2 lines and one either ends of the polygon is 1/2 each this creates one when added together.
All you do from there is multiply 9 and 3. This should give you A=area.
Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)
