Isn’t it already simplified?... or am i stupid.
As 0.1333 is less than 0.5 the answer is
375
The answer is -35 because it says below sea level
Easy
the easiest way is to imagine that you have a rectangle with a corner cut off
the area of the figure=area of rectangle-area cut off
area that was cut off was a triangle
area of rectangle=length times width
area of triangle=1/2base times height
so we draw imaginary lines like in attachment
find area of rectangle
legnth=9 inch
width=9 inch
area=9 times 9=81 in^2
triangle
the top part is ?+5=9, so the base of triangle=4
the side is ?+4=9, so the base is 5
area=1/2 times 4 times 5=10 in^2
area=rectangle-triangle
area=81-10=71 in^2
38(m - 29) = 434...distribute thru the parenthesis
38m - 1102 = 434...add 1102 to both sides
38m = 434 + 1102
38m = 1536....divide both sides by 38
m = 1536/38
m = 768/19 or 40 8/19
