Answer:

The Area of the rectangle is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

One can use the vertices of the rectangle in coordinate form, by observing that (please see image attached):

(1) the distance between x-coordinates that share the same y-value give the length of the segments that define the horizontal sides of the rectangle,

(2) and the distance between y-coordinates that share the same x-value give the length of the segments that define the vertical sides of the rectangle,

Therefore, as an example of statement (1) above, the distance between the x-coordinates of : (-4,-3) and (-1,-3) which share the same "y-value" -3, is:

| -1 - (-4)| = |-1+4| = |3| = 3 which is the length of the horizontal side of the rectangle (the base of the rectangle).

As an example of statement (2), the distance between the y-coordinates of: ((-1,-3, and (-1,9) which share the same "x-value" -1, is:

| 9-(-3)| = |9+3|=|12|=12 which is the length of the vertical side of the rectangle (the height of the rectangle).

So, the area of the rectangle which is defined as the product of its base times its height, is given by:

Area=base\,*\.height\,= 3\,*\,12\,= 36

Help mee with this question pls I don’t understand
elena-s [515]

Answer:

a) Cat

b) 4 (unless there is a key that says otherwise)

c) 3 more people

Step-by-step explanation:

a) It has the least number of shapes (only 5)

b) Cat has 1 small square which stands for 1 person and 4 small squares put together make a big square so a big square is 4 people. Unless a key says that a small square is more or less 1, then it should be 4.

c) If one big square is 4 people, then there are 10 people for giraffes and 7 people for dogs. 10 - 7 = 3 more people.

1. (10 points) Explain how to factor the following:
kap26 [50]

Answer:

A. 3m² + 4m + 1 = 0

3m² + 3m + m + 1 = 0

3m (m + 1) + 1 (m + 1) = 0

( 3m + 1 ) (m + 1) = 0

B. 16n - 25

16n = 25

n = 25/16
