Answer:

35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the bottom portion, you would use the formula for finding out a triangle (B*H*1/2) which is:

(4+4)*5.75*1/2=23

Then, for the top portion, one would find the area of the triangles on the sides (with two marks going through). Since along the middle is 8cm, and along the top is 4, we can see that there is 2cm on either side, so that is the length of the base of the triangle. To solve for the top triangles, you would do almost the same thing as the last one:

2*2*1/2=2

But since there's two identical triangles on either side, we can multiply that by two, which would bring it to 4.

That just leaves the rectangle that is left between the two triangles. To solve this, it's just B*H and luckily both of those are labeled for you already:

4*2=8

Now, to find the total area, all you have to do is add up the areas of the different sections:

23+4+8=35 cm

Hope this helps!

For what values of K does x2+kx+9=0

Airida [17]

Answer:

$k = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x {}^{2} + kx + 9 = 0$

here,

a = 1,

b = k

c = 9

now,

$D = b {}^{2} - 4ac$

$k {}^{2} - 4(1)(9) = 0 \\ k {}^{2} - 36 = 0 \\ k {}^{2} = 36 \\ k = 6$

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than it's width. Write an equation that will determine the dimensions if the area of the rec

Firdavs [7]

Answer: The equation is W^2 + 4W - 96= 0

{Please note that ^2 means raised to the power of 2}

Step-by-step explanation: We have been given hints as to the measurement of the length and width of the rectangle. The length is given as four more than the width. What that means is that whatever is the width, we simply add four to get the measurement of the length. Therefore if the width is W, then the length is W + 4.

That is,

L = W + 4 and

W = W

Also we have the area given as 96.

Remember that the area of a rectangle is given as

Area = L x W.

In this question, the Area is expressed as

Area = (W + 4) x W

96 = W^2 + 4W

Subtract 96 from both sides of the equation and we have

W^2 + 4W - 96 = 0.

We now have a quadratic equation from which we can determine the dimensions of the rectangle

What part of 3 12 is 1/2 ? I need this asap

Aliun [14]

I assume you are asking one of three things, so I will answer all of them.

if you are asking what is 1/2 of 312, then multiply 312 by 1/2. 312 is really just 312/1, so
$312 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{312}{1} \times \frac{1}{2}$
we multiply fractions by multiplying straight across
$\frac{312 \times 1}{1 \times 2} = \frac{312}{2} = 156$

if you were asking what part of 3 1/2 is 1/2 then we have to recognize what 3 1/2 is as an improper fraction. to do this, we convert 3 into halves. how many halves of pizza are there in 3 whole pizzas? 6. so we have 6 halves and one half, which is a total of 7 halves.
$\frac{6}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$
now, we do the same thing as the first problem
$\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7 \times 1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{7}{4}$

if you were asking what is half of 3.12, then we convert 1/2 to a decimal and multiply
$\frac{1}{2} = .5 \\ 3.12 \times .5 = 1.56$
