Answer:
b=16
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula~ 1/2*b*h
1/2*15*b=120
7.5b=120
b=120/7.5
b=16
(you can substitute the value to check-i've done it below)
1/2*16*15=?
if you work it out, the ans will be 120, therefore the ans is correct!
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 of 12 is 2
12 - 2 = 10
1/5 of 10 is also 2
10 - 2 = 8

Answer: x^2-3x+36</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
The larger rectangle has area of (x+1)(x+1) = x^2+2x+1 through the use of the FOIL rule or distribution
If you use distribution, then it might help to let y = x+1 so we'd have y(x+1) lead to xy+1y which becomes x(x+1)+1(x+1). From there it might be easier to see how to get x^2+2x+1 after everything distributes again and simplifies.
The smaller rectangle has area 5x-35 which is found by distributing 5(x-7)
To get the shaded area, we subtract the two rectangle areas found above
shaded area = (larger area) - (smaller area)
shaded area = (x^2+2x+1) - (5x - 35)
shaded area = x^2+2x+1 - 5x + 35
shaded area = x^2-3x+36
