First you should find the area of the rectangle in the middle.
A: 9 x 6 = 54
Then you can find the area of the triangle on the right.
A: 6 x 5 = 30/2 = 15
Then you can do the triangle on the right.
11-9 = 2
A: 2 x 6 = 12/2 = 6
Then you can add it all together.
15 + 6 + 54 = 74
So the area of the irregular shape is 74.

I hope this helps!

Well i would look at the trapezium on the left (i would forget the first dashed line) and use 1/2 a + b × h to work out the area of a trapezium. So you would do 1/2 of 9+11 × 6 which is 60cm^2.
Then I would work out the area of the triangle which is 1/2 b×h. You would do 1/2 of 6×5 which is 15cm^2.
Add 60 and 15 and you get 75cm^2
Ok looking at the other persons I think I did it wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?

step 1

Find the measure of the interior angle

Let

x ---> the measure of the interior angle

y ---> the measure of the exterior angle

Remember that

the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees

$x+y=180^o$ ----> equation A

we have that

the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle

$x=2y$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$2y+y=180$

$y=60^o$

$x=120^o$

That means-----> The figure is a regular hexagon

step 2

Remember that

The length of the diagonal that passes through the center of the hexagon is equal to two times the length of the regular hexagon

Let

b ----> the length side of the hexagon

$b=12/2=6\ units$

The perimeter of the hexagon is given by the formula

$P=6b$

substitute

$P=6(6)=36\ units$

What is the sum of 3m + 7y + 5 - m - 6y?

nevsk [136]

3m + 7y + 5 + -1m + -6y = 0
Reorder the terms:5 + 3m + -1m + 7y + -6y = 0
Combine like terms: 3m + -1m = 2m5 + 2m + 7y + -6y = 0
Combine like terms: 7y + -6y = 1y5 + 2m + 1y = 0
Solving5 + 2m + 1y = 0
Solving for variable m'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5' to each side of the equation.5 + 2m + -5 + 1y = 0 + -5
Reorder the terms:5 + -5 + 2m + 1y = 0 + -5
Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 00 + 2m + 1y = 0 + -52m + 1y = 0 + -5
Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -52m + 1y = -5
Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.2m + 1y + -1y = -5 + -1y
Combine like terms: 1y + -1y = 02m + 0 = -5 + -1y2m = -5 + -1y
Divide each side by '2'.m = -2.5 + -0.5y
Roots m=-2.5 + -0.5y

Simplify the following:3 m + 7 y + 5 - m - 6 y
Grouping like terms, 3 m + 7 y + 5 - m - 6 y = (7 y - 6 y) + (3 m - m) + 5:(7 y - 6 y) + (3 m - m) + 5
7 y - 6 y = y:y + (3 m - m) + 5
3 m - m = 2 m:Answer: y + 2 m + 5
Not sure what you need so I gave you Simplification and Roots.
