Please prefer the picture for your answer.
We know, area of a ∆ = 1/2 × base × height.
Here, base = ( 7 + 1) units = 8 units.
Height = (7 - 1) units = 6 units.
Therefore, the area of the ∆
= (1/2 × 8 × 6) square units
= 24 square units.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The area of the triangle is 24 square units.

Hope you could get an idea from it.

Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)

(3v^4 - 2) - (7v^4 + 6)

Lera25 [3.4K]

So firstly, you want to foil - (7v^4 + 6) [Think of the minus sign as -1]: $3v^4 - 2 - 7v^4 - 6$

Next, combine like terms and your answer will be: $-4v^4-8$
