Calculate the area of both shapes. The area of a rectangle is determined by multiplying its length times its width. The area of a circle is Pi (i.e., 3.14) times the square of the radius. Find the area of the shaded region by subtracting the area of the small shape from the area of the larger shape.
Answer:
900.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the initial area is: A₀=0.5*base*h;
2) the final area is: A=0.5*(5*base)*(5*h).
It means, that 25A₀=A, then A=900 [cm²].
So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x + -10.
So now the answer would be 10 = -10.
Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.
