Answer:

The area is 288 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So the best way to solve problems like this is to think about the parts of the object like different things, and iscolating them.

We see that the length of the rectangle is 21, and the width is 13.

Ignore the 5 and 16, since they tell you what you neeed to know about the other smaller rectangle.

So lets just use the formula for area of a rectnagle, which is l*w, using the 21 and 13 values above:

21*13= 273

Now lets look at the second part.

I think this is the part you were confused with, so I will go into detail on how we find the area of this part of the rectangle

We see that there is a 16...However, we already know that the width is 13. So how is this? The 16 includes both the width of the rectangle and of the smaller piece.

Since we already know that the width of the rectangle is 13, but the small segment makes it 16, we can subtract the total wifth by the width of the rectangle, which will find us the width of the segment:

16-13=3

So the width is 3.

This is not what we do with the 21 and 5. When we look at the segment, we see that the 5 covers all of it, and does not cover any of the rectangle's length. This basicallly means that the 5 length is only for the segment, so this is considered our length.

Now we can use this to figure out the segments area:

3*5=15

Now, since we need to find the combined area of the both the segment and the rectangle, we need to add them together:

273+15=288

So the area is 288 in total.

Hope this helps!

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below (-8,-7) (-7,-8)
svetlana [45]
Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the midpoint would be:
M=((x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2)

In this case, the points would be: (-8,-7) and (-7,-8); therefore:
M=((-8-7)/2 , (-7-8)/2)=(-15/2,-15/2)

Answer: C.)  (-15/2 , -15,2)

What to do if quadratic equation has a negative spuare root?
alex41 [277]

If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be 3+\sqrt{5}

then 3-\sqrt{5} will also be a solution.
