1. The area of the full rectangle is 21 * 28 = 588. We will need this later.
Like you drew, there is an imaginary triangle missing. We can find the dimensions of it by subtracting from the given information. The shorter leg of it is 21 - 12 = 9, the longer leg is 28 - 14 = 14.
Now we find the area of the triangle. Area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. So 1/2 * 9 * 14 = 1/2 * 126 = 63.
Now we do the full area of 588 minus the area of the missing triangle piece.
588 - 63 = 525 ft²
2. Do the area of the rectangle and then this time add on the area of the triangle. 7 * 15 = 105. Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 2 * 7 = 1/2 * 14 = 7.
105 + 7 = 112 in²
Answer:
26
is the answer to the question
Answer:
Numbers are 14 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 2 numbers be x and y.
Write 2 equations:
x + y = 22
x - y = 6
Solve by substitution:
x - y = 6
x = y + 6
Plug into the other equation:
(y + 6) + y = 22
2y + 6 = 22
2y = 16
y = 8
Plug into either equation:
x + 8 = 22
x = 14
Numbers are 14 and 8
4b. Laura has a 12-foot ladder. The safety instructions recommend the
base of the ladder be placed 4 feet from the base of the wall. How highwill the ladder be able to reach on the wall? WRITE YOUR ANSWER AS A SIMPLIFIED RADICAL. (HINT: Use the abbreviation sqrt to mean "square root of." For example an answer might look like 5sqrt3, and be read "five times the square root of 3".)
