Write <em>z</em> in exponential form:

Then taking the logarithm, we get

so a is the correct answer.
Answer:
The area of the shaded figure is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the area of the shaded figure, first, you must calculate this as a rectangle, with the measurements: wide (4 units), and long (6 units):
- Area of a rectangle = long * wide
- Area of a rectangle = 6 * 4
- Area of a rectangle = 24 units^2
How the figure isn't a rectangle, you must subtract the triangle on the top, so, now we calculate the area of that triangle with measurements: wide (4 units), and height (2 units):
- Area of a triangle =

- Area of a triangle =

- Area of a triangle =

- Area of a triangle = 4 units^2
In the end, you subtract the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle, to obtain the area of the shaded figure:
- Area of the shaded figure = Area of the rectangle - Area of the triangle
- Area of the shaded figure = 24 units^2 - 4 units^2
- <u>Area of the shaded figure = 20 units^2</u>
I use the name "units" because the exercise doesn't say if they are feet, inches, or another, but you can replace this in case you need it.
In mathematics, the statement if a, then b, says that if a is true, then be is true. If you think about it, this makes sense too. That means that the answer is C., because of the definition of the statement.
