Answer:

  34 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be decomposed into a trapezoid and a triangle. The point of intersection of the two lines is (6, 4), so a horizontal line at y=4 will create ...

  • a triangle of height 2 and base 6
  • a trapezoid with bases 6 and 8, and height 4.

Using the relevant area formulas, we find ...

  triangle area = 1/2bh = 1/2(6)(2) = 6

  trapezoid area = 1/2(b1 +b2)h = 1/2(6+8)(4) = 28

Total shaded area = 6 + 28 = 34 square units.

__

The equations of the lines can be written as ...

  y = -2x +16

  y = -1/3x +6

Equating y, we get

 -2x +16 = -1/3x +6

  10 = 5/3x . . . . . . . . . add 2x-6

  6 = x . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/5

  y = -2(6) +16 = 4

The point of intersection is (6, 4).

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Once we know the vertices of the shaded area:

  • (0, 0)
  • (0, 6)
  • (6, 4)
  • (8, 0)
  • (0, 0)

we can form pairwise "determinants" of the form x1y2 -x2y1. Note the first point is repeated at the bottom of the list, and the points are listed in order around the boundary of the area. The points (0, 0) contribute nothing, so we have left them out of the computation below. The area is half the absolute value of the sum of these "determinants".

  1/2|(0·4 -6·6) +(6·0)-(8·4)|

  = 1/2|-36 -32| = 1/2(68) = 34

_____

In the attachment, the equations of the lines are written in intercept form, since the problem statement gives the intercepts of the lines.

Temka [501]
Answer: b, zero

On a graph, when it’s a straight line, there is no slope. When it’s increasing the line, it’s positive, and if it’s decreasing the line, it’s negative, and this line is doing neither.

Find m∠3 if m∠5=130 and m∠4 =70
arlik [135]
M∠5=130 <span>and m∠4 =70
</span><span>so
m<2 = 180 - m<5 
m<2 = 180 - 130
m<2 = 50

m<3 = 180 - (m<2  + m<4)
</span>m<3 = 180 - (50+70)
m<3 = 180 - 120
m<3 = 60
<span>

Square perimeter= 20 triangle base= 3 and height =3.5 find the percentage of the area inside the square shaded
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Area of geometric figures mentioned calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Square Perimeter = 4 x sides of square = 20. So, each equal side of square = 20 / 4 = 5

Area of square = ( Side )^2 = ( 5 )^2 = 25

Area of triangle = 1/2 (Base) (Height) = 1/2 x 3 x 3.5 = 5.25
