Explanation:

The length CD can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

  CF² + CD² = DF²

  2² + CD² = (2√10)²

  CD² = 40 -4 = 36

  CD = √36 = 6

From here, any of several methods could be used to find the area of ΔDEF.

One of them is to subtract the areas of the triangles that are not ΔDEF from the area of the rectangle ABCD.

  area ABCD = bh = (6 cm)(5 cm) = 30 cm²

  area ΔADE = 1/2bh = 1/2(4 cm)(5 cm) = 10 cm²

  area ΔBEF = 1/2bh = 1/2(2 cm)(3 cm) = 3 cm²

  area ΔCDF = 1/2bh = 1/2(6 cm)(2 cm) = 6 cm²

Then the area of interest is ...

  area ΔDEF = area ABCD -area ΔADE -area ΔBEF -area ΔCDF

  area ΔDEF = (30 -10 -3 -6) cm²

  area ΔDEF = 11 cm²

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If we define A as the origin of a coordinate system, then the coordinates of the vertices of ΔDEF are ...

  D(0, 5), E(4, 0), F(6, 3)

The area can be computed as half the absolute value of the sum of the determinants of 2×2 matrices consisting of adjacent points.

  A=\dfrac{1}{2}\left|\left|\begin{array}{cc}0&5\\4&0\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}4&0\\6&3\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}6&3\\0&5\end{array}\right| \right|\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}|(0-20)+(12-0)+(30-0)|=\dfrac{1}{2}(22) = \boxed{11}

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The solution using coordinates is effectively equivalent to the computation of the area of trapezoid ABFD, less the areas of triangles EBF and AED.

For a scavenger hunt, Jim's mom distributed a bag of 875 jelly beans evenly into 25 plastic containers and hid them around the
kupik [55]

Answer:

Jim only found 15 of the containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If his mom hid 875 jelly beans evenly into 25 containers we can easily multiply 25 x 35 = 875, which means there were 35 jelly beans in each container.

Jim only found an amount of 385 jelly beans. To find out how many containers he found, all you have to do is divide 385 by 25 which gives us 15.4.

15.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 15. So your answer would be that Jim found only 15 out of 25 containers.
