Answer:
24 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
For such questions it is convenient to choose the "base" to be a segment that is aligned with one of the coordinate axes. Here, the horizontal segments will serve. Their length is the difference between the x-coordinates of the end points, -2 -(-6) = 4, for example.
The height is measured perpendicular to the base, so will be the difference between the y-coordinates of the horizontal segments: 2 -(-4) = 6.
The area is given by the formula ...
A = bh
A = 4·6 = 24 . . . square units
Distribute:
3x-12=12
Add 12 over
3x=24
divide by 3
x=8
19200 all you have to do to figure this out is multiply 100 times 8 since the is 8 halfs in 4 hours.

Answer:
1000
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of protesters per minute remains a constant, then you could write the proportion ...
p/12 = 177/2.1
Multiplying by 12 gives ...
p = 12(177/2.1) ≈ 1011.4
Here, minutes are given to 2 significant figures, and the initial count is given to 3 significant figures. The best you can hope for is that your estimate is good to 3 significant figures:
1010 protesters
It is probably sufficient to report the number to 2 significant figures*:
1000 protesters
_____
* Unfortunately, with a number like 1000, the only way you can tell it has 2 significant figures is to report it as 1.0×10³ or 10. hundreds. The trailing zeros are usually not considered significant.
