Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of rectangle (figure 1) plus the area of trapezoid (figure 2)
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
The area of the rectangle is

The area of the trapezoid is

The area of the figure is

-12
Step-by-step explanation:
We know 12 divided by 4 is 3 so the same is so in the negatives
The correct answer is Choice A.
This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula

.
The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.
If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).
