I'm not too sure either.
5(5) + 3(5) = 40 and
5(2) + 3 (10) = 40
If you can't think of anything maybe that'll help
A. Stiles. For Melendez, each family member uses about 390 kilowatts of electricity. For Barton, each family member uses about 355 kilowatts of energy. Stiles uses 745 kilowatts per family member. 745 divided by 355 rounds up to 2 while 745 divided by 390 rounds up to 2. This means that the Stiles family uses twice the amount of electricity per person than the other families.
b. The Melendez family. The Melendez family uses 875 gallons per family member. The Barton family uses about 1067 gallons of water while the Stiles family uses about 1250 gallons. 875< 1067< 1250. This means that the Melendez family uses the least amount of water per family member.
Answer:
208 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you take the area of the whole rectangle, to do this you simply multiply 30 by 15, meaning that the big rectangle’s area is 450 cm².
Then, you take the area of the small rectangle (the unshaded one), to do this, you simply figure out the sides (they end up being 11 cm and 22 cm, you can find this out through subtracting) and to find the area of this rectangle, you multiply 11 by 22, which gives you 242 cm²
Now all that is left to do is to subtract the unshaded area by the whole rectangles area to find the shaded part! This will look like this: 450-242= 208 cm²
