Pick’s Theorem is used to find the areas of figures on lattices easily. The formula is:
A = (B)/2 + I - 1, where B is the number of points on the border of the shape, and I is the number of points inside the shape.
Here, there are 8 points on the outside of the shape, and there are 12 points inside the shape. So, we do:
8/2 + 12 - 1 = 4 + 12 - 1 = 15 units squared.
We can check by finding the areas of the non-shaded region and subtracting that area from the whole rectangle area of 4 * 10 = 40:
4 * 1 + (3 * 1)/2 + 1 * 9 + (3 * 1)/2 + (9 * 2)/2 = 25
40 - 25 = 15, so we’re right!
The answer is 15 units squared, or choice (B).
Answer:
= - 1.3n - 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference, thus
= - 3.7 - 1.3(n - 1) = - 3.7 - 1.3n + 1.3 = - 1.3n - 2.4
We have 3 people: Paul, Daniel and Patricia. Let each name denote that person’s current age in years. Remember that % is the symbol for 1/100.
PAUL: (#A) Paul = Patricia – 2
DANIEL:
(#B) Daniel = 125% * Patricia = 125 * (1/100) * Patricia = 1.25 * Patricia
(#C) Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time would have been Daniel’s current age – 10. IE “Daniel – 10”.
Ten years ago, Patricia’s age at that time would have been Patricia’s current age – 10. IE “Patricia – 10”.
Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time (IE Daniel – 10) was 50% greater than Patricia’s age at the time (Patricia – 10).
IE
Daniel – 10 = 150% * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 1.50 * 10
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 15
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 15 + 10
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
So now we have 3 equations in 3 unknowns:
(A) Paul = Patricia – 2
(B) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia
(C) Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
Solve equations B & C simultaneously
1.25 * Patricia = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
1.25 * Patricia – 1.50 * Patricia = – 5
– 0.25 * Patricia = – 5
Patricia = (– 5) / (– 0.25)
Patricia = + 20
So now we can write the 3 people’s ages:
(a) Patricia = 20
(b) Paul = Patricia – 2 = 20 – 2 = 18
(c) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia = 1.25 * 20 = 25

<span>Finally, we check our solution against the original question. </span>
Paul is two years younger than Patricia. ……… 20 – 2 = 18 ✔
Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. ……… 25 = 125% * 20 ✔
Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia. 25 – 10 = 150% (20– 10) ✔

<h2>
Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The total height of the 17-story building is 74.29 meters.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
This a unit convertion problem. We know that there is a 17-story building and the height of each story, we need to convert the units and then, calculate the total height.
We need to use the following convertion factors:
Now, converting the given units we have:
Meters to centimeters:
Decimeters to centimeters:
So, we know that one story measures 4 meters, 2 decimeters (dm) and 17 centimeters (cm), and if we want to calculate the total height of the 17-story building, we need to use the following equation:
Now,
Converting from centimeters to meters, we have:
Hence, we have that the total height of the 17-story building is 74.29 meters.
Have a nice day!
there are 6 terms! hope this helped
