Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

The backyard is 1 entire area.

The pool is 1/5 of the area.

The deck is 1/4 of the area.

The grass is the remaining area.

The area of the grass is the entire area of the backyard minus the areas of the pool and the deck.

First, we add the areas of the pool and the deck.

1/4 + 1/5 = 5/20 + 4/20 = 9/20

The combined area of the pool and deck is 9/20 of the area of the backyard.

Now we subtract the combined area of the pool and deck from the entire area of the backyard.

1 - 9/20 = 20/20 - 9/20 = 11/20

The grassy area is 11/20 of the backyard.

Answer: 11/20

Which of the following lines is perpendicular to the x-axis and contains the point (-11.4, 12.8)
sergejj [24]

The line x = -11.4 is perpendicular to the x-axis and contains point

(-11.4 , 12.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the equations of the vertical lines and horizontal lines

  • The vertical line is a line parallel to y-axis
  • The x-coordinates of all points lie on the line are equal
  • The equation of the vertical line basses through point (a , b) is x = a
  • The horizontal line is a line parallel to x-axis
  • The y-coordinates of all points lie on the line are equal
  • The equation of the horizontal line passes through point (a , b) is y = b
  • The vertical line and the horizontal line are perpendicular to each other when intersect each other

∵ The line is perpendicular to the x-axis

∴ The line is a vertical line

∴ The equation of the line is x = a, where a is the x-coordinate

   of any point lies on the line

∵ The line contains point (-11.4 , 12.8)

∵ The x-coordinate of the point is -11.4

∴ a = -11.4

∴ The equation of the line is x = -11.4

The line x = -11.4 is perpendicular to the x-axis and contains point

(-11.4 , 12.8)
