Answer:
Dividing each part into 10 and then summing the results up, is equivalent to dividing 89.5 into 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
This example refers to the Distributive Property of the division, which is valid when the dividend is decomposed.
A simple example could be: 400 ÷ 10 = (200 ÷ 10) + (200 ÷ 10)
In the exposed example we know that 89.5 = 80 + 9 + 0.5.
(80/10) + (9/10) + (0.5/10) =
8 + 0.9 + 0.05=
8.95
89.5/10 = 8.95
The area of the triangle is 3 because b•h/2, and the area of the rectangle is 3 because l•w, added together that equals 6, and doubled that equals 12. So I think the answer is C, 12 square feet.
The square will have area
.. (9 cm)^2 = 81 cm^2.
The two triangles together will have area
.. (9 cm)*(12 cm) = 108 cm^2.
The sum of the areas of those three shapes is
.. 81 cm^2 +108 cm^2 = 189 cm^2
