Answer:

Decompose the figure into two rectangles and add the areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw a vertical line segment from the smaller section of the rectangle straight down. This would cut the rectangle into 2 smaller rectangles. We can then find the area of each rectangle and add them to find the area of the composite figure.

Answer:

Decompose the figure into two rectangles and add the areas.

Find the area of the entire rectangle and of the removed corner and subtract the areas.

Decompose the figure into three rectangles and add the areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

With all of these you can actually calculate the area of the composite figure, some of them are more easy and efficient than the other, for example dividing the composite area into three rectangles is not very efficient but will do the job, and the one where you decompose the area into two rectangles would be the best one, as well as the one where you find the area of the larger rectangle and the substract from that the rectangle that is taken off in the right corner.

Pls help! What is the value of X?

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure B is .8 times the size of Figure A, so to find the value of x you would take the scale factor and multiply it by 5 in this case.

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$

Use the expression 9(7 + 2x) to answer the following:

oksian1 [2.3K]

Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) The factors are (1) the constant coefficient 9 and (2) the binomial (7+2x).

Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) The first factor (multiplicand), 9, has one term. The second factor (multiplicand), (7+2x), has two terms (and is thus called a binomial).

Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points) The only such coefficient is 2.
