3*sqrt(7)
3 times the square root of 7
====================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming the V stands for square root. You can write sqrt(63).
The idea is to factor 63 in such a way that one factor is the largest perfect square possible, that way we can pull the root apart to simplify as shown above. The rule I used for the second step is
There are three parts to this figure: a rectangle and two triangles that are congruent.
We'll add together the area for each to get the total area.
We'll start by finding the area of the rectangle. We don't know its length, so we need to find the bases of the triangles and add them together.
We know that . Substitute and solve for
:
Now, double this to get the total length of the rectangle, which is inches.
The area of the rectangle is equal to its length times its height:
Now, we'll find the area of one of the triangles and double it since they're congruent.
The area of a triangle is one-half of its base times its height, which we then double.
The and the
cancel each other out.
Substitute and solve:
Finally, add the rectangle's area to the two triangles' area.
