Answer: see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape is a trapezoid
Base 1 (BH) is 10
Base 2 (QA) is 14
Height is 5
Area
Find distance between QB and HA
Q( -4,4) B (-2,9)
Perimeter
-x + 8 = x - 10
8 - x = x - 10
8 = x - 10 + x
8 = 2x - 10
8 + 10 = 2x
18 = 2x
18/2 = x
9 = x
x = 9

Answer:
1. A = 40 units²
2. A = 72 units²
3. B) 45
Step-by-step explanation:
1. This shape comprises 4 congruent triangles with base of 5 units and height of 5 units.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Therefore, area of polygon = 4(1/2 x 5 x 4)
= 40 units²
2. This shape comprises two pairs of congruent triangles.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Therefore, area of polygon = 2(1/2 x 2 x 6) + 2(1/2 x 10 x 6)
= 72 units²
3. Count the number of shaded squares:
9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45 units²
So basically it takes 10 people to paint a whole building. Forget about the 5 days. That's just there to confuse you. You have to first find out how much of a building can one person paint so, 1/10. So that means that 7 people can paint 7/10 of a building in 5 days
