1. The area of the full rectangle is 21 * 28 = 588. We will need this later.
Like you drew, there is an imaginary triangle missing. We can find the dimensions of it by subtracting from the given information. The shorter leg of it is 21 - 12 = 9, the longer leg is 28 - 14 = 14.
Now we find the area of the triangle. Area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. So 1/2 * 9 * 14 = 1/2 * 126 = 63.
Now we do the full area of 588 minus the area of the missing triangle piece.
588 - 63 = 525 ft²
2. Do the area of the rectangle and then this time add on the area of the triangle. 7 * 15 = 105. Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 2 * 7 = 1/2 * 14 = 7.
105 + 7 = 112 in²
Answer:
8-i=g
Step-by-step explanation:
g= amount of rain Groesbeck gout
i = inches of rain
y=mx+b is the equation of a line;
m=slope , b= y-intercept
You can find the slope with this following equation: (y(2)-y(1))/(x(2)-x(1))
In this case the points are (0,4) and (-2,-3). The first set being (0,4) and the second (-2,-3). This means (0,4) can be expressed as (x(1),y(1)) and (-2,-3) expressed as (x(2),y(2)). Plugging these numbers into the slope equation gives us: (-3-4)/(-2-0) = -7/-2 = 7/2.
m= 7/2 ; so we have : y= (7/2)x+b
We are give a set of points which it passes through, we can simply plug them in:
4 = (7/2)(0)+b (0 is the x and 4 is the y)
We get 4 = 0 +b .... 4=b
our final equation is : y=(7/2)x+4
