B = -16
m = (-15-(-16))/18-0 = 1/18
y= 1/18x - 16
If u have a open circle, then the inequality has no equal sign. But if it is a closed circle, the inequality has an equal sign.
Shading to the left means " less then " .
Shading to the right means " greater then " .
(1) u have an open circle on -7 with shading to the left....
x < -7
(2) u have a closed circle on 4.5 with shading to the left....
x < = 4.5 (thats less then or equal)
(3) u have an open circle on -5 with shading to the right...
x > -5
(4) u have an open circle on 1.5 with shading to the right...
x > 1.5
Answer:
64 in² (Answer B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that this rhombus is made up of a large upper triangle and a large lower triangle. Each of these two triangles has base 2(8 in) (or 16 in) and height 4 in.
The area-of-a-triangle formula is
A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here is
A = (1/2)(16 in)(4 in) = 32 in².
Now double that, because we have an upper triangle of area 32 in² and a lower triangle of the same area 32 in². So the total area of the rhombus is 64 in²
Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3
So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
