Answer:
98 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways you can think about this one. Perhaps easiest is to treat it as a square with a triangle cut out of it. The cutout triangle has a base (across the top) of 14 ft and a height of 14 ft, so its area is ...
A = (1/2)(14 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Of course the area of the square from which it is cut is ...
A = (14 ft)² = 196 ft²
So, the net area of the two triangles shown is ...
A = (196 ft²) - (98 ft²) = 98 ft²
_____
Another way to work this problem is to attack it directly. Let the base of the left triangle be x. Then the base of the right triangle is 14-x, and their total area is ...
A = A1 + A2 = (1/2)(x ft)(14 ft) + (1/2)((14-x) ft)(14 ft)
We can factor out 7 ft to get ...
A = (7 ft)(x ft + (14 -x) ft)
A = (7 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Answer:
A. 
B. b > 11
C. 
D. 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given the following algebraic expression;</u>
A. 
We would simplify the equation by multiplying all through by 4;
Divide both sides by -3;
B. 5b - 28 > 27
Rearranging the equation, we have;
5b > 27 + 28
5b > 55
Divide both sides by 5
b > 11
C. 
Divide both sides by 13
D. 
Collecting like terms, we have;
Divide both sides by -1
132=3x+x
132=4x
x=33
