Answer:

The area is 5.5 cm squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, you have to find the areas of the rectangle and the triangle separately and then add your two values together.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is as follows:

A=lw

In this formula, "l" refers to length and "w" refers to width.

As shown in the diagram, your length is 1.5 cm and your width is 2 cm.

Simply plug these numbers into the formula and simplify.

A=1.5*2\\A=3

The area of the rectangle is 3 cm squared.

Next, find the area of the triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is as follows:

A=\frac{1}{2} bh

In this formula, "b" refers to the measure of the base and "h" refers to the measure of the height.

Your base (b) is 2 cm.

To find your height, subtract the length of the rectangle (1.5 cm) from the total length of the shape (4 cm). This will give you a height of 2.5 cm.

Next, plug your values into the formula and simplify.

A=\frac{1}{2} *2*2.5\\A=1*2.5\\A=2.5

The area of the triangle is 2.5 cm squared.

Add the area of the rectangle (3 cm squared) to the area of the triangle (2.5 cm squared), and you have the area of the entire figure (5.5 cm squared).

Note: Carlos' mistake in the problem is that he forgot to subtract the length of the rectangle from the length of the entire shape, and incorrectly used 4 cm as his height for the triangle rather than 2.5 cm.

6x+3&lt;7-2x<br> I’m not sure if I’m doing it right so an explanation would be nice
enot [183]

Answer:

x<0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

this is just like simplifiying equations if you've done that before

first you want to isolate the variable, so you want to combine the values of x (in this case it's 6x and the -2x)

so you can either add 2x to both sides or you can subtract 6x on both sides, in this case ill just add 2x to both sides.

Then you subtract 3 from both sides to get 8x<4

after you get that, you want to divide both sides by 8, and you generally want to do that step last, it makes it easier, and you get x<1/2 or 0.5

just a reminder that with working with inequalities, you want to remember to flip the direction the inequality is whenever you divide by a negative number
