Step-by-step explanation:

The way that I would do it, would be to use the point distance formula to find the length of each side.

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} (y2-y1) ^{2} }$

After you use this formula to find the length of all sides of the polygon, you would need to use the appropriate area formula to find the area of the polygon.

Area of Triangle: A= 1/2 base times height

Area of Rectangle: A= length times width

Area of Square: A= s^2 where s is the length of the side

Area of Parallelogram: A= base times height

Area of Trapezoid: A= 1/2 times height (base 1 + base 2) where base 1 and base 2 are the parallel sides

Area of Kite or Rhombus: A= 1/2 (diagonal 1 times diagonal 2)

Area of Regular Polygons: A= 1/2 (apothem times perimeter)

Answer: D: 17.3

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe its D because the house and the ground is a 90 degree angle, and at 60 degree angle is a 20 foot ladder. alright then 90 plus 60 = 150 degrees.

then add the twenty foot ladder with each choice for the answer:

A: 20 + 6.1 = 26.1

B: 20 + 10.0 = 30

C: 20 + 14.1 = 34.1

D: 20 + 17.3 = 37.3

The answer would be D because it is the closer number to 150. Because it says " which is the closest height up the house the ladder reaches?" The answer is D the closest number. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! =D

Can you help me please

The area of the sector which is the white triangle adding the shaded region is 68.9/360*π*9.28^2=51.78005(rounding to 5th digit after decimal point for accuracy before we do final round for answer)

The area of the white triangle in the sector has area 1/2*9.28^2*sin(68.9)= 40.17223(rounding to 5 digits again for some accuracy.

Now we take out the white triangle from the sector.

51.78005-40.17223=11.60782

rounding to the nearest tenth we get 11.6 cm^2

Problem done!

Hope this helped and if you have any questions about my explanation just ask in the comment and I will answer.
