Answer:
A = 81 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of the parallelogram is
A = LH where L is the length of the base, and H is the height
L is given as 9, and H is given as 5, so
A = (9)(5) = 45 m²
The are of the triangle is
A = (1/2)bh where b is the base and h is the height
b is given as 9. Its's 9 because that side of the parallelogram is parallel to the base of the parallelogram and is also equal in measure. The height of the triangle is give as 8, so the area is..
A = (1/2)(9)(8)
A = 36 m²
The total area is
45 m² + 36 m² = 81 m²
To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.
The first equation is 2x+5y=33
The second equation is 8x+3y=30
Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.
So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.
That gives you -8x-20y= -132
Then you set up the two equations and add them together.
(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)
That gives you -17y = -102
So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5
