Answer:

158.76 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral ABCD is composed of 2 right triangles

Construct the line BD, then

Δ ABD and Δ BCD are the 2 right triangles.

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated using

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Δ ABD with b = 18 and h = 7.5

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 18 × 7.5 = 9 × 7.5 = 67.5 cm²

Δ BCD with b = 15.6 and h = 11.7

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 15.6 × 11.7 = 7.8 × 11.7 = 91.26 cm²

Thus

area of ABCD = 67.5 + 91.26 = 158.76 cm²

which expressions represents a 20% discount off the price of an item that originally cost D dollars

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

D - (D/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine that D equals 100 dollars -

Well, we know that to get 20% of an amount, we need to divide the amount by five. So let's do that -

100 / 5 = 20

We now know that 20% of 100 dollars is equal to 20 dollars. We have now finished the first part. On to the second part.

We now need to take away 20% of 100 dollars off of 100 dollars - this is the price of the item after the discount.

100 - 20 = 80 dollars.

We now fit in D instead of 100 dollars -

D - (D/5)

Solve the quadratic by factoring.<br> x^2-5x-31=5

torisob [31]

Answer:

$x = - 4\: or \: x = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

make one side equal to zero:

${x}^{2} - 5x - 36 = 0$

find two factors that multiply to -36 and add to -5 (-9 & 4)

${x }^{2} - 9x + 4x - 36 = 0$

factorise

$x(x - 9) + 4(x - 9) = 0$

$(x + 4)(x - 9) = 0$

solve for x

$x = - 4 \: or \: x = 9$
