D is the answer...........
we can pretty much split the middle part into two trapezoids. Check the picture below.
so we really have one trapezoid and one square, each twice, so simply let's get the area of the trapezoid and sum it up with the area of the square, twice, and that's the area of the shape.
![\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{\textit{parallel sides}}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=5\\ a=3\\ b=7 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{5(3+7)}{2}\implies A=25 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{sum of areas}}{[25+(3\cdot 3)]}\cdot \stackrel{twice}{2}\implies [34]2\implies \underset{in^2}{68}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctextit%7Barea%20of%20a%20trapezoid%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7Bh%28a%2Bb%29%7D%7B2%7D~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20h%3Dheight%5C%5C%20a%2Cb%3D%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bparallel%20sides%7D%7D%7Bbases%7D%5C%5C%5B-0.5em%5D%20%5Chrulefill%5C%5C%20h%3D5%5C%5C%20a%3D3%5C%5C%20b%3D7%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%283%2B7%29%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20A%3D25%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bsum%20of%20areas%7D%7D%7B%5B25%2B%283%5Ccdot%203%29%5D%7D%5Ccdot%20%5Cstackrel%7Btwice%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5B34%5D2%5Cimplies%20%5Cunderset%7Bin%5E2%7D%7B68%7D)
Answer:
120%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The diameter of the raw cookie is 2 1/2 inches i.e. 5/2 inches
After baking the cookie, the diameter is 5 1/2 inches i.e. 11/2inches
We need to find by what factor does the cookie expand.

So, the cookie will expand 120%.
Answer:
positive association
linear association
Step-by-step explanation:
It is said that two variables A and B are related when the distribution of the values of one of the two variables differs according to the values of the other.
That is, when variable A grows then variable B also grows. This is known as positive correlation
When variable A grows then variable B decreases. This is known as negative correlation.
In the scatter plot you may notice that when variable A increases then variable B also increases, in an approximately linear relationship. Therefore it can be said that there is a positive and linear association.
The answer is the fourth and fifth option.
