the formula for area of a rectangle is
Area = length x width
since both the length and the width of the rectangle lie on the same x and y axis, we can find the distance between the width and the distance between the length by subtracting
(-4,9) (-4,-3)
these points lie on the same x axis, so they create a vertical line
9-(-3) = 12
12 units is the distance between them
(-4,-3) (-1,-3)
these points lie on the same y axis, so they create a horizontal line
-1-(-4) = 3
3 units is the distance between them
now that we have the length and the width, we can find the area
A = 12 x 3
A = 36 units²
The sub dives 37 feet....thats -37...it rises 16 ft....-37 + 16 = -21...then dives 18 ft.....-21 - 18 = - 39 ft
so the net change is -39 ft
I want to say 7.6% is the answer
Answer:
36 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h and p represent the number of highlighters and the number of pencils, respectively.
Then h + p = 45, and h = 45 - p.
Tom paid a total of $30 for these supplies, with ($2/highligher)(h) + ($0.333/pencil) adding up to that amount.
substituting 45 - p for h in 2h + 0.333p = 30, we get:
2(45 - p) + 0.333p = 30, or
90 - 2p + 0.333p = 30
Combine the constants: 60 = 2p - 0.333p, or 60 = 1.667p
Then p = 60/1.667 = 35.9928, or 36.
Tom bought 36 pencils for $12, and 45-36, or 9, highlighters for $18, for a total purchase of $30. This shows that these calculations are correct.
