Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 * 2 = 4u² (area of the central square)
2 * 2 : 2 = 2u² (area of one congruent triangle)
4 + 2 + 2 = 8u²
(u = units)
Round fraction as a decimal: 6/13=.462 that's the answer
1: Solve for either x or y in one of the equations. So x + y = -1 is y = -x -1
2: substitute the new equation in the opposite equation. So x - (-x - 1) = 7
3: distribute the negative. X + x + 1 = 7
4: combine like terms. 2x + 1 = 7
5: solve for x. Subtract 1 on both sides. 2x = 6
6: divide by 2 to get x by itself. X = 3
7: plug the new value of x into one of the ORIGINAL equations. 3 + y = -1
8: solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides.
Y = -4
9: the solution is written as (x,y) so the solution would be (3, -4)
Deductive reasoning is one that necessarily follows, not one that likely follows (this would be an inductive reasoning).
Here the important information is that all squares are also parallellograms, which means that they also necesarily have all the properties of the parallelogram - the correct answer is D.
