3.24m

the longest piece will be associated with 8 parts of the ratio.

divide 144 by 8 to find 1 part of the ration then multiply this value by 6 and 4 for the remaining parts of the ratio

\frac{144}{8} = 18 cm ← 1 part

6 parts = 6 × 18 = 108 cm

4 parts = 4 × 18 = 72 cm

length = 144 + 108 + 72 = 324 cm = 3.24m

Find the area of the following shape.
ad-work [718]

Answer:

57 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the triangle on the left

ABC

It has a base AC which is  9 units and a height of 3 units

A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 9) *3 = 27/2 = 13.5

Then find the area of the triangle on the right

DE

It has a base AC which is  6 units and a height of 1 units

A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 6) *1  = 3

Then find the area of the triangle on the top

It has a base AC which is  3 units and a height of 3 units

A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 3) *3  = 9/2 = 4.5

Then find the area of the rectangular region

A = lw = 6*6 = 36

Add them together

13.5+3+4.5+36 =57 units^2
