Answer:

Area of Shaded Region: 189 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

~ To find the area of the shaded region, let us calculate the area of the rectangle added to the area of the two triangles, or the area of the whole triangle created from the two smaller triangles ~

1. Given dimensions of 15 by 9 centimeters, the area of the rectangle would be ⇒ 15 cm * 9 cm = 135 cm^2

2. It would be simpler if we were to consider the area of the larger triangle. The height in this case, by the Partition Postulate, would be 27 cm - 15 cm ⇒ 12 centimeters. Now provided that the shape with dimensions 15 cm by 9 cm is a rectangle, opposite sides are ≅, and thus ⇒ the base of this large triangle is 9 cm. That being said we can calculate the area of the triangle by ⇒ 1/2 * base * altitude ⇒ 1/2 * 9 cm * 12 cm ⇒ 6 cm * 9 cm ⇒ 54 cm^2

3. The area of the shaded region is thus 135 cm^2 + 54 cm^2 ⇒ 189 cm^2

Area of Shaded Region: 189 square centimeters

Factor completely 3x(x + 2) + 4(x + 2). (1 point) (x + 2)(7x)

Nezavi [6.7K]

ANSWER

$(x + 2)(3x + 4)$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

$3x(x + 2) + 4(x + 2)$

We can see that (x+2) is the greatest common factor.

We factor to obtain;

$(x + 2)( 3x + 4)$

The correct choice is C.

A bicyclist travels 13 km at a speed of 20 km/hr. how long does it take her to travel this distance?

aliina [53]

Answer:

${ \tt{time = \frac{distance}{time} }} \\$

speed is 20 km/hr
distance is 13 km

${ \tt{time = \frac{13}{20} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: time = 0.65 \: hours}}}$

Enter the values for m, n, and p that complete the difference:

inessss [21]

Answer:

p = 2

n = 14

m = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be able combine (either add or subtract) rational expressions we need to write them with a common (similar) denominator. For that reason we first find the Least Common Denominator of both fractions, that way understanding how to express the two fractions using equivalent fractions with like denominator that can be combined.

We see that the denominator of the first fraction contains the factor "x", therefore "x" has to be a factor of that least common denominator.

We also see that the second fraction contains "2" as a factor, therefore 2 has to be a factor as well for our Least Common Denominator (LCD)

So the LCD we need is the product: 2*x which we write as 2x.

Now we write the first fraction as an equivalent one but with denominator "2x" by multiplying top and bottom by 2 (and thus not changing the actual value of the fraction): $\frac{7}{x} =\frac{7*2}{x*2} =\frac{14}{2x}$

Next we do the same with the second fraction, this time multiplying top and bottom by the factor "x":

$\frac{3}{2} =\frac{3x}{2x}$

Now that both fractions are written showing the same denominator , we can combine them as indicated:

$\frac{7}{x} -\frac{3}{2} =\frac{14}{2x} -\frac{3x}{2x} =\frac{14-3x}{2x}$

This expression gives as then the values for the requested coefficients.

p = 2

n = 14

m = 3

There are 10 marbles in a paper bag, 6 of which are red. The rest are blue. You play a game with your friend. If you draw a red

maria [59]

No, because you have 1 more marble than her. While you have 6 marbles in the bag, she has 4; there’s a 3/5 chance that you’ll win, and a 2/5 chance that she’ll win.
