Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 20 by 5, which gives you 100. Then multiply 16 by 5, which is 80. 80 out of 100 is 80%

The figure shown in the picture is a rectangular shape that is missing a triangular piece. To determine the area of the figure you have to determine the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangular piece, then you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

The rectangular shape has a width of 12 inches and a length of 20 inches. The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiplication of the width (w) and the length (l), following the formula:

$A=w\cdot l$

For our rectangle w=12 in and l=20 in, the area is:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=12\cdot20 \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=240in^2 \end{gathered}$

The triangular piece has a height of 6in and its base has a length unknown. Before calculating the area of the triangle, you have to determine the length of the base, which I marked with an "x" in the sketch above.

The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, the triangular piece divides this length into three segments, two of which measure 8 inches and the third one is of unknown length.

You can determine the value of x as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 20=8+8+x \\ 20=16+x \\ 20-16=x \\ 4=x \end{gathered}$

x=4 in → this means that the base of the triangle is 4in long.

The area of the triangle is equal to half the product of the base by the height, following the formula:

$A=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}$

For our triangle, the base is b=4in and the height is h=6in, then the area is:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{4\cdot6}{2} \\ A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{24}{2} \\ A_{\text{triangle}}=12in^2 \end{gathered}$

Finally, to determine the area of the shape you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{total}}=A_{\text{rectangle}}-A_{\text{triangle}} \\ A_{\text{total}}=240-12 \\ A_{\text{total}}=228in^2 \end{gathered}$

The area of the figure is 228in²

The graph of y=f(x) is the solid black graph below. Which function represents the dotted graph?

Fed [463]

Answer: y = f(x - 4) - 1, lower left corner

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's focus on only the left-most points of each curve

For the black semicircle, the left-most point is located at (-7,0). The corresponding point on the red semicircle is at (-3,-1)

To go from (-7,0) to (-3,-1), we will do two things

Shift 4 units to the right
Shift 1 unit down

This can be done in any order. The action of "shift 4 units to the right" is effectively the same as shifting the xy axis 4 units to the left while keeping the curves fixed in place. This gives the illusion of movement. When we shift 4 the xy axis 4 units to the left, we're replacing each x input with x-4 as the new input.

In short, we go from f(x) to f(x-4). This is why we have this opposite motion going on.

The up and down motion is fairly straight forward. To shift 1 unit down, we subtract off 1. This is to subtract 1 from the y coordinate.

Overall, we go from y = f(x) to y = f(x - 4) - 1

Applying this transformation will move (-7,0) to (-3,-1) as described above. It will also move every other point on the black curve to their new corresponding location on the red curve.
