Answer:
The area of flower bed is 8.96 m^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of lawn = 6 x
width of lawn = x
length of flower bed = x + 4
width of flower bed = x - 1
Area of shaded region = 40 m^2
Area of the shaded region
6 x (x) - (x +4)(x -1) = 40

As length cannot have negative value, so x = 2.4 m.
Area of flower bed = (x + 4)(x - 1) = (2.4 + 4)(2.4 - 1) = 8.96 m^2

Answer:
7.5 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...
A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases, and h is the perpendicular distance between them.
Here, the bases are TR = 1 and PA = 4. The height is 3 units, so the area is ...
A = (1/2)(1 +4)(3) = 15/2 = 7.5 . . . . square units
Answer: a
Step-by-step explanation:

This eliminates all the options except for a.
Since 4 pastries is $10. Divide 10 by 4 to find out how much it cost per pastry.
10/4 = $2.5 per pastry
$2.5 * 9 pastries = cost
For 9 pastries, it cost $22.50
Plug it into the table :)
