Answer:

  E)  25.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is not carefully drawn, so it is difficult to tell that it is a trapezoid. The "height" of it is BC, the diagonal of a rectangle that is 1 unit by 4 units. The Pythagorean theorem tells you that length is ...

  BC = √(1² +4²) = √17

We notice that the "bases" of the trapezoid (CD and AB) are 1 and 2 times this length. The trapezoid area formula tells us the area is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

  A = 1/2((√17)(1 +2))(√17) = 3/2(17) = 25.5 . . . . square units

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

<em>Pick's Theorem</em> is a theorem that can help you find the area of a polygon when its vertices are all on grid points. It tells you the area is ...

  A = i + b/2 -1

where i is the number of grid points interior to the figure, and b is the number of grid points on the boundary. Here, the boundary grid points are those that are labeled plus the one at (-2, 1). Counting the interior grid points gives a total of 24, so the area by Pick's theorem is ...

  A = 24 + 5/2 -1 = 25.5 . . . square units

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Once you're familiar with Pick's theorem (and/or any of a few other methods of computing area from coordinates), you see that <em>the area of any polygon whose vertices are grid points will be an integer multiple of 1/2</em>. The only such answer choice here is choice E.

What is the value of m in the equation ‡m - 3n=16, when n=8?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: m-3n=16

Solution,

or, m - 3n = 16

or, m - 3×8 = 16

or, m - 24 = 16

or, m = 16 + 24

or, m = 40

Therefore, the value of m is '40'

The area of the region in the first quadrant between the graph of y = k*sin(x) and x-axis (where k &gt; 0 ) on the closed interv
astraxan [27]
Note that 0\le k\sin x\le k in the given closed interval, so the area is exactly given by the definite integral

\displaystyle\int_0^\pi k\sin x\,\mathrm dx

(no absolute values needed!)

Integrating gives

-k\cos x\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=\pi}=-k(\cos\pi-\cos0)=-k(-1-1)=2k

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The answer is n=28\frac{11}{15}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3.

Now, to solve the equation:

18\frac{2}{5} - n = -10 \frac{1}{3}

Converting the mixed fractions to improper:

⇒\frac{92}{5} -n=-\frac{31}{3}

Moving the numbers on one side and variable to the other:

⇒\frac{92}{5} +\frac{31}{3}=n

Now, solving the factions:

⇒\frac{92\times 3+31\times 5}{15}=n

⇒\frac{276+155}{15}=n

⇒\frac{431}{15}=n

⇒28\frac{11}{15}=n

Therefore, the answer is n=28\frac{11}{15}.
