She used two trapezoids.
She put one trapezoid on top and one on the bottom.
The shape she ends up making is a hexagon.
Answer: 36 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the figure into 2 shapes: a rectangle and a triangle. Count the squares to find the dimensions of each figure. The rectangle has a width of 4 units and a length of 6 units. The triangle has a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length * width. The area of the rectangle is 4*6 = 24 square units.
The formula for the area of a triangle is (base * height)/2. The area of the triangle is (4*6)/2 = 24/2 = 12 square units.
Add the areas of both the rectangle and triangle. 24+12 = 36 square units.
Answer:
<h2>
25metres</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the area of the garden in terms of the width modeled by the equation A(x) = -(x-25)²+625 where x is the width of the garden. The side with that will produce the maximum garden area is occurs at when d[A(x)]/dx = 0
Given A(x) = -(x-25)²+625
d[A(x)]/dx =-2(x-25) + 0
Since d[A(x)]/dx = 0
-2(x-25) = 0
open the parenthesis
-2x+50 = 0
-2x = 0-50
-2x = -50
Divide both sides by -2;
-2x/-2 = -50/-2
x = 25metres
<em>Therefore the width of the garden that will produce the maximum garden area is 5metres.</em>
