Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The complete area of the given figure is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of rows = 2
Squares in each row = b
So, the total number of squares in 2 rows = 2 x ( Squares in 1 row ) = 2 x b
Also, side length of 1 square = b cm
As we know, AREA OF SQUARE = SIDE x SIDE
So here, area of 1 square = Side x side = b cm x b cm = 
⇒ The area of total (2b) squares = 2 b x ( Area of 1 square)

Hence, the complete area of the given figure is 
f(x, y) = 4x + 7y - 6
substitute x=5 and y=-5
f(5,-5) = 4(5) + 7(-5) - 6
f(5,-5) =20-35-6
= -15-6
=-21
6 meters
72 = x+x+5x+5x
72 = 12x
6 = x
the shorter side is 6 meters
