The Area of Shaded region is equal to the difference in Area of rectangle and Area of triangle .
let's solve for area of rectangle :
Now, Area of Triangle :
So, the area of the shaded region in terms of x :
And since, Area of Shaded region = 44 cm²
By equating the area, we get
Value of x = 2
time * rate = distance
Downstream 4 * x = 4(x)
Upstream 6 * x - 2 = 6(x - 2)
distance downstream = distance upstream:
4(x) = 6(x - 2)
4x = 6x - 12
-2x = -12
x = 6
Distance Upstream: 4x = 4(6) = 24
Distance Upstream: 6(x - 2) = 6(6 - 2) = 6(4) = 24
Total distance traveled is Upstream + Downstream = 24 + 24 = 48
Answer: 48 miles
10.9 = x% of 34
10.9 is the amount
x% is the percent
34 is the base
C in my opinion
