What is the area of this irregular figure knowing that the formula for the area of a rectangle is l x w.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
42 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The attachment shows a couple of ways the figure can be considered.
a) Left and Right rectangles that are 5 cm high and 3 cm wide, together with a central rectangle that is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×3 + 3×4 + 5×3 = 15 + 12 + 15 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
b) An enclosing rectangle that is 5 cm high and 10 cm wide with a cut-out that is 2 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×10 -2×4 = 50 -8 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
The area of the irregular figure is 42 cm².

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles would be supplementary
45 + 5x + 35 = 180
5x + 80 = 180
5x = 100
x = 20
To find out why they are supplementary, refer to the transversal below
∠3 = ∠7 (corresponding angles)
∠8 = 180 - ∠7 (supplementary angles)
And since ∠7 = ∠3...
∠8 = 180 - ∠3 which is why (in the problem) those two angles are supplementary (adding to 180 degrees)
