Hey there! :)
Answer:
13 packages.
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by finding the total area of this composite figure. Separate the figure into separate rectangles. Use the formula A = l × w to calculate the area of each:
Smaller rectangle:
Subtract 7 from 9 to find the width:
9 -7 = 2. Therefore:
2 × 2 = 4 ft².
Larger rectangle:
7 × 5 = 35 ft².
Add up the two areas to find the area of the entire figure:
4 + 35 = 39 ft².
If each package of tile covers 3 ft², simply divide to find the package of tiles needed:
39 / 3 = 13 packages.
7<sqrt55<8 i hope that helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Area is side x side, so naturally it would be: (x+5)(x - 5)... Though to simplify, those parenthesis can be FOILed. (Reminder: "FOIL" means First - Outer - Inner - Last)

The 5x cancels out because 5x - 5x = 0
So that leaves us with:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras theorem
a^2=b^2+c^2
(x-2)^2=9^2+(x+1)^2
x^2-4x+4=81+x^2+2x+1
Collect like terms
-4x-2x=82-4
-6x=78
x=-13
