Answer:

Option A is correct.

10 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

The complete Question is attached in the first attached image.

Lydia cut out her initial from a piece of construction paper. How many square centimeters of construction paper are used to make Lydia's initial?

A) 10 square centimeters

B) 11 square centimeters

C) 15 square centimeters

D) 22 square centimeters

Solution

From the second attached image, it is evident that we can split the L-shaped figure into two rectangles of dimensions (3 cm by 1 cm) and (7 cm by 1 cm)

The total area of the figure is thus

(3 × 1) + (7 × 1) = 10 cm²

Write an equation for a circle with a diameter that has endpoints at (–4, –7) and (–2, –5). Round to the nearest tenth if necess

Zinaida [17]

since we know the endpoints of the circle, we know then that distance from one to another is really the diameter, and half of that is its radius.

we can also find the midpoint of those two endpoints and we'll be landing right on the center of the circle.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{diameter}{d}=\sqrt{[-2-(-4)]^2+[-5-(-7)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-2+4)^2+(-5+7)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}\implies d=\sqrt{2\cdot 2^2}\implies d=2\sqrt{2}~\hfill \stackrel{~\hfill radius}{\cfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}\implies\boxed{ \sqrt{2}}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5})\qquad \qquad \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{-2-4}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-5-7}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-6}{2}~,~\cfrac{-12}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{center}{\boxed{(-3,-6)}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ (x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 \qquad center~~(\stackrel{-3}{ h},\stackrel{-6}{ k})\qquad \qquad radius=\stackrel{\sqrt{2}}{ r} \\[2em] [x-(-3)]^2+[y-(-6)]^2=(\sqrt{2})^2\implies (x+3)^2+(y+6)^2=2$
