Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture you can see that area is sume of area P1 and area P2.

a=6 because its egdes are on point -2 and 4, so it is 6. (See x-ose)

h=3 Edges on -2 and 1 (see y-ose)

k=2 edges on 3 and 1 on y-ose

P1=a*h=6*3=18

P2=a*k/2=6*2/2=6

P=18+6=24

Answer:

24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a polygon can be computed from its list of coordinates as ...

$\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}\left|\sum\limits_{k=1}^n{x_k(y_{k+1}-y_{k-1})}\right|$

where there are n coordinate points. Subscripts on y "wrap around" so that ...

$y_{n+1}=y_1\\y_0=y_n$

The area from these coordinates is ...

A = (1/2)|-2(-2-1) +4(1-(-2)) +5(3-(-2)) +2(1-1) -1(-2-3)|

= (1/2)|6 +12 +25 +0 +5|

= (1/2)(48)

= 24 . . . . square units

_____

If you graph the points, you see that the figure can be considered to be a parallelogram topped by a triangle. The area of the parallelogram is ...

A = bh = 6·3 = 18

The area of the triangle is ...

A = 1/2bh = (1/2)(6)(2) = 6

Then the total area is 18+6 = 24, which agrees with the above calculation.

there were 50 cars parked at the airport car rental lot. Of those 50 cars, 10% were red. How many cars were red?

solmaris [256]

10% of the 50 were red.

10% * 50

(10/100) * 50

(1/10) * 50

= 5

5 were red.

A company is to hire two employees. They have prepared a final list of eight candidates, all of whom are equally qualified. Of t

Softa [21]

Answer:

i) Probability that both candidates employed are women = 5/14

ii) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = 5/8

iii) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability that a man is employed be P(M) = 3/8

Probability that a woman is employed P(W) = 5/8

a) Probability that both candidates employed are women = (5/8) × (4/7) = 5/14

b) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = (probability that first candidate is a man and second candidate is a woman) + (probability that first candidate is a woman & second candidate is a woman)

= (3/8)(5/7) + (5/8)(4/7) = (15/56) + (20/56) = 35/56 = 5/8

c) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman

Given that the second candidate was a women, means that the first candidate-women was selected among other four women.

Probability = (4/8)/(5/8) = 4/5

What is 9 5/6 - 2 1/3

Mariana [72]

9 5/6 - 2 1/3 is 7 1/2.

You could get this answer by finding the same denominator of the fractions. The LCM of both is 6. Multiply the 1 of the second fraction 2 times because you had to multiply the denominator 2 times to get to 6.
You should have 2 2/6.

Now get 9 5/6 - 2 2/6.

The answer is 7 3/6, simplifies into 7 1/2.
9 5/6 - 2 1/3 is 7 1/2.
