Answer:

5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the bottom of the ladder is 15 feet from the wall, and it touches the wall 80 feet above the ground.  Imagine it like two points on a graph.  One is at the origin (0,0).  That represents the bottom of the ladder.  The next one is at (80,15), which represents where the top is.  To find slope, we divide rise (y-values) over the run (x-values).  The y value increases by 80, while the x increases by 15.  80 divided by 15 equals about 5.3

Temporarily subdivide the given area into two parts: a large rectangle and a parallelogram. Find the areas of these two shapes separately and then combine them for the total area of the figure.

By counting squares on the graph, we see that the longest side of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of a triangle whose legs are 8 and 2. Applying the Pyth. Thm., we find that this length is √(8^2+2^2), or √68. Similarly, we find the the width of this rectangle is √(17). Thus, the area of the rectangle is √(17*68), or 34 square units.

This leaves the area of the parallelogram to be found. The length of one of the longer sides of the parallelogram is 6 and the width of the parallelogram is 1. Thus, the area of the parallelogram is A = 6(1) = 6 square units.

The total area of the given figure is then 34+6, or 40, square units.

TEA [102]

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of the ratio=3+3+4=10

now,

angle I = 3/10×180=54

angle II= 3/10×180=54

angle III=4/10×180=72

Eliza is two years younger than half her brother, Juan’s age. Write an equation to represent Eliza’s age. If Juan is 6 how old i
Natalka [10]
X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age

Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:

-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)

x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)

| basically,
v

x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.

6/2 - 2 = y

3 - 2 = y

1 = y

ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
