Answer:
The slope is -1/1 or just -1.
(When you need to plot the slope, you use -1/1 to use the strategy Rise/Run or Rise over Run.
If you look at the point (-3,1) From that point, you go down -1 and you run to the side for a positive 1.
Once you do that you'll land at (-2,0) and you can keep on repeating this and you'll see that it lands on the points on the line.
Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask any questions if needed! :)
The answer to the question
The closest answer is 95 square inches. Here is why. You can find the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width. This would be 15 x 5 = 75 square inches. The area of the whole circle that is created when you put both halves together would be found by multiplying 3.14 x 2.5 in (the radius) x 2.5 in. This answer is about 20 square inches. The combined area is approximately 95 square inches.
So we start off with what 4 numbers added together equal 32.
first truck 5 tons
second truck 7 tons
third truck 9 tons
and fourth truck 11.
5+7= 12 +9 = 21+11= 32.
Because ABCD is a rectangle, the length of CD is 12 cm.
We need to determine the length of DE. If we can do that, then the sum of the lengths of CD and DE represents the unknown: the length of CE.
To find the length of CE, we have to "solve" the upper triangle.
Here's an outline of what to do:
1. Show that BC=AD and find the length.
2. Note that angle CAD is 60 degrees. Why?
3. Note that angle EAD is 30 degrees. Why?
4. Find the length of ED
5. Add ED and DC, that is, ED + 12 cm. This is your answer.
Please ask questions if need be.
