Answer:

Part A) The area of the figure is 24\ units^{2}

Part B) The perimeter of the figure is 20\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the figure

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of triangle ABD plus the area of triangle BCD

The area of triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

<u>Area of triangle ABD</u>

Observing the graph

b=BD=(-2+8)=6\ units

h=(9-5)=4\ units

substitute

A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)=12\ units^{2}

<u>Area of triangle BCD</u>

Observing the graph

b=BD=(-2+8)=6\ units

h=(5-1)=4\ units

substitute

A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)=12\ units^{2}

The area of the figure is

12\ units^{2}+12\ units^{2}=24\ units^{2}

step 2

Find the perimeter of the figure

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

P=AB+BC+CD+AD

we have

A(-5,1),B(-8,5),C(-5,9),D(-2,5)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

Find the distance AB

d=\sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(-8+5)^{2}}=5\ units

Find the distance BC

d=\sqrt{(9-5)^{2}+(-5+8)^{2}}=5\ units

Find the distance CD

d=\sqrt{(5-9)^{2}+(-2+5)^{2}}=5\ units

Find the distance AD

d=\sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(-2+5)^{2}}=5\ units

substitute the values

P=5+5+5+5=20\ units

Pls help me! I'm confused
zepelin [54]
The question is asking you to organize the data in line plot form. to do so you must create a number line (which in this case is provided for you) and put X's above the numbers. for example lets say your given the following data :
1, 2 ,2 , 4 , 1 , 3 , 2 , 5 
this is how you would graph it in line plot form 



x .      x
x .      x .           x .         x .          x

_________________________________________
1 . . .   2 .          3 .         4 .          5
  
but in your case not al the numbers listed are on the plot so instead you do this:
x .    x
x .    x .      x .      x .        x
___________________________________
1 .              3 .                5 . 
plot as if the numbers are there. ( as usual spacing is important)

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 cm, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Find the length of the other leg.
Brilliant_brown [7]
12 cm, use the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
9^2+b^2=15^2
81+b^2=225
b^2=144
b=12

Rue Co.’s allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $12,000 at December 31, Year 1. During Year 2, Rue wrote
klio [65]

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance = $12,000.

Rue wrote off uncollectible accounts =  $48,000

The aging of accounts receivable indicated = $50,000

amount of uncollectible accounts expense = ?

credit balance - wrote off uncollectible account + account expense = account                                                                                                 recievable

$12,000 - $48,000 + account expense = $50,000

account expense = $50,000 + $ 36,000

account expense = $86,000

amount of uncollectible accounts expense =  $86,000

Hence, the correct answer is option B
