Answer:
C. 33 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
to get the area of irregular polygon.
divide the area into two parts (see attached image)
total area = A1 + A2
where A = 1/2 base x height
total area = ( 1/2 * 6 * 8) + (1/2 * 6 * 3)
total area = 24 + 9
total area = 33 square feet.
therefore the answer is C. 33 square feet.
Let
x---------> the length of the first piece
y---------> the length of the second piece
z---------> the length of the third piece
we know that
x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1
y=x+6 -----> solve for x
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
z=6+y -------> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72
3y=72
y=(72/3)=24 in
<u>Find the value of x</u>
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
x=24-6=18 in
<u>Find the value of z</u>
z=6+y -------> equation 3
z=6+24=30 in
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the first piece is 18 in
the length of the second piece 24 in
the length of the third piece is 30 in
