How do you find the area of the shaded region

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

well, first off, let's notice that we have a trapezoid with a rectangle inside it, so the rectangle is really "using up" area that the trapezoid already has.

now, if we just get the area of the trapezoid, and then the area of the rectangle alone, and then subtract that area of the rectangle, the rectangle will in effect be making a hole inside the trapezoid's area, and what's leftover, is the shaded section, that part the hole is not touching.

\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h&=height\\ a,b&=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases} \\\cline{1-2} h&=8\\ a&=16\\ b&=8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8(16+8)}{2}\implies A=96 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the rectangle}}{(5\cdot 3)\implies 15}~\hfill \stackrel{~\hfill \textit{shaded area}}{\stackrel{\textit{trapezoid}}{96}~~ - ~~\stackrel{\textit{rectangle}}{15}~~ = ~~81}

Tom pays $1506 in rent every month. This amount is $50 more than twice what his brother Arturo pays for
Talja [164]

Answer:

$3062

Step by Step Explanation:

Arturo's rent can also be written as an expression

2t + 50

This is basically showing that two of Tom's rent plus $50 gives you his brother's rent.

So 2(1506) + 50

3012 + 50

3062

Snezhnost [94]
The y-intercept would be when x=0 so in this equation it would become:
 5(0) - 6y = 10
-6y = 10
y = 10 / -6
y = -5 / 3
