The shaded region is a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of any parallelogram is

.
The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).
The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.
Multiply them together.

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.
I do not agree. If you divide 240 by 30, it would be 8 heartbeats, which is absurd. It's impossible for something to survive with 8 heartbeats per 30 seconds.
In order to get the CORRECT answer, divide 240 by 60 seconds.
This would give you 4 heartbeats per second.
Then, multiply it by 30 seconds, which would give you 120 heartbeats.
CORRECT answer: 120
The standard form for the equation of a circle is :
<span><span><span> (x−h)^</span>2</span>+<span><span>(y−k)^</span>2</span>=<span>r2</span></span><span> ----------- EQ(1)
</span><span> where </span><span>handk</span><span> are the </span><span>x and y</span><span> coordinates of the center of the circle and </span>r<span> is the radius.
</span> The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.
So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (−10,1)and(−8,5) is :
((−10+(−8))/2,(1+5)/2)=(−9,3)
So the point (−9,3) is the center of the circle.
Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:
r^2=(−10−(−9))^2+(1−3)^2=1+4=5
⇒r=√5
Subtituting h=−9, k=3 and r=√5 into EQ(1) gives :
(x+9)^2+(y−3)^2=5
I'm assuming this is multiple choice and you forgot to post the answers. I'll take a guess and say it probably looks something like this:

Because you can't take the square root of a negative number without getting an imaginary result, resulting in the function having a closed domain limit.
