Answer:
Is shaded 5/8 of the area of the rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The area of triangle ABC represent 1/4 of the total area
The area of triangle CDE represent 1/8 of the total area
The shaded region is composed by one triangle equal to triangle ABC and three triangles equal to triangle CDE
so
The area of the shaded region is equal to
therefore
Is shaded 5/8 of the area of the rectangle
Answer:
- a=1
- b=1
- c=-4
- x = (-1 ±√17)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of x^2 is "a". That is 1.
The coefficient of x is "b". That is 1.
The constant term is "c". That is -4.
The values of a, b, and c are 1, 1, and -4, respectively.
_____
The solution is ...
x = (-b ±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)
Filling in the values of a, b, and c, this is ...
x = (-1 ±√(1^2 -4·1·(-4)))/(2·1)
x = (-1 ±√17)/2
