What is the area of this figure?

KatRina [158]

Hi!

I have attached 2 images that should help you understand :)

First, look at the edits I made to the image you posted. I separated the shape into smaller shapes so that we can find the area of each individual one.

Let's start with the rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the width times the height.
10 · 4 = 40

Rectangle = 40cm

Next up, the red triangles.

I have included another image showing the triangles combined into rectangles. So we can find the area of the triangles just like we would rectangles!

(let me know if you don't understand how I found the width + height of the triangles)

5 · 10 = 50

Red triangles = 50cm

And finally, the green triangles.

8 · 7 = 56

Green triangles = 56cm

Add it all together and you get...

40 + 50 + 56 = 146

The answer to the question is 146cm.

Next time you are having trouble with something like this, picture the triangles as rectangles! :)

In the diagram shown, line m is parallel to line n . Justine says that ∠3 ∠ 3 and ∠7 ∠ 7 are supplementary angles. Is she correc

agasfer [191]

The correct answer is C.

Because by looking at the diagram you can see that angles 7 and 8 are intersected

its question #2 my son and I cannot figure out how to do this other than dividing. however, when u divide 59 into 422, are you s

anyanavicka [17]

Honestly I can see an argument for 7 shelves or for 8 shelves.

When you do the calculation; $\frac{422}{59}=7.15$ You get 7.15 shelves. Clearly you cannot have .15 of a shelf so the logician in me wants to say you need 8 shelves!

But if the assignment is aimed estimation skills, (Which is what I assume is being implied by the title of the assignment), then the easier calculation of $\frac{420}{60}=7$ is probably what the teacher was hoping for.

You might have been accidentally been calculating $\frac{59}{422} =.139$ . Remember division is NOT communitive! i.e. $1\div2\neq2\div1$ .

From the image;
The first step was to see that 59 can not go into 4..resulting in the zero above the 4, multiplying 0 by 59 and subtracting 0 from 4.

The second step begins by bringing down the 2, seeing that 59 can not go into 42..resulting in the zero above the 2, multiplying 0 by 59 and subtracting 0 from 42.

The third step begins by bringing down the 2, seeing that 59 can go into 422 7 times (I tested this on the right by a short multiplication problem)..resulting in the 7 above the 2, multiplying 7 by 59 and subtracting 413 from 42.

This process continues....

Based on the table, which statement best describes a prediction for the end behavior of the graph of f(x)?

stich3 [128]

The answer would be B. Look at the graph - on top, to the left goes toward -infinity, while to the right it does the opposite. On the bottom, or the y, to the left and right it increases indefinitely. Plug this together, and you have your answer.
I hope this helped, and have a nice day!
