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

How to find lateral surface
ella [17]
To find the lateral surface area of a pyramid, you can find the area of each triangle, A = 1/2bh or A = 1/2lw, then multiply by the number of triangles, which would be based on the number of sides of the base; or you can take half the perimeter and multiply by the slant height.

One number is 7 times another number. The product of the two numbers is 252. Find the two numbers.
Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x =7y ----(1)

xy=252 ----(2)

(1) into (2):

(7y)(y) = 252

7 {y}^{2}  = 252 \\ 7y =  \sqrt{252}

7y=15.874....

y=2.27

y value into (1)

x= 7(2.268)

x=15.87

the two numbers are 15.87 and 2.27 (Ans)

What is minimal completion time for the activities in the graph below? In a complete sentence, explain how you got your answer
kupik [55]
The minimal completion time for the activities is the shortest possible time for all the activities to be finished. In doing this, we look at the path that would require the greatest amount of time. At the START node, we choose the path that would take the longest which is 7 days leading to ACTIVITY D. Next, we choose the path leading to ACTIVITY B which takes 5 days. Then, we move to ACTIVITY C taking 5 days and finally, reach the END which would take 6 days. So, the minimal completion time is:
7 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 23 days
