Answer:

5/9 of the area of square ABCD is shaded

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

To find out what fraction of the area of square ABCD is shaded, divide the shaded area by the total area of square ABCD

step 1

Find out the area of square ABCD

The area of a square is

A=b^{2}

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

b=(x+2x)=3x\ units

so

A=(3x)^{2}

A=9x^2\ units^{2}

step 2

Find out the area of the 4 congruent right triangles

A=4[\frac{1}{2}(x)(2x)]=4x^{2}\ units^2

step 3

Find out the area of the shaded region

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of square ABCD minus the area of the 4 congruent right triangles

so

A=9x^2-4x^{2}=5x^{2}\ units^{2}

step 4

Divide the shaded area by the total area of square ABCD

\frac{5x^{2}}{9x^{2}} =\frac{5}{9}

therefore

5/9 of the area of square ABCD is shaded

At an electronics store, a $165 television is marked up 110%. Dave purchases the TV and must pay 6.5% sales tax. What is his fin
Mariana [72]
Firstly, we need to know the price of the TV after the 110$ increase.
     $165 x 1.10 = $181.50
[This is an increase of $16.50]
[1.10 is the equivalent of 110%. 1 being 100% and the .10 being 10%]

Now for the sales tax. We apply a similar method.
     $181.50 x 0.065 = $11.79
     6.5% of $181.50 is $11.79, so we add the two together to find the final cost.

The final cost of the TV is $193.29

Factor the following:<br><br> 1. 5(a+3)²- (a+3<br><br> 2. p²- 6 - q · (p²- 6)²
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

1. (a + 3)(5a-14)

2. (p^2-6)[1-q(p^2-6)]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first thing to do to factor the expression is to take the expression (a + 3) as a common factor with its lowest exponent.

Then the expression. 5(a + 3)^2- (a + 3) remains as:

(a + 3)(5 (a + 3) -1)\\\\(a + 3)(5a +15 -1)\\\\(a + 3)(5a-14)

2. The first thing to do to factor the expression is to take the expression  p^2 -6 as its common factor with its lowest exponent.

Then the expression p^2- 6 - q(p^2- 6)^2 remains as:

(p^2-6)[1-q (p^2-6)]
