Answer:
174 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you're interested in the area of the figure, you can compute it as the sum of the areas of the triangle and rectangle.
The unknown side of the triangle can be figured from the overall dimension of the rectangle and the two lengths that are not part of the triangle base:
6 ft + triangle base + 6 ft = 18 ft
triangle base = 18 ft - 12 ft = 6 ft
Then the area of the triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh = 1/2(6 ft)(4 ft) = 12 ft²
__
Of course, the area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:
A = LW = (18 ft)(9 ft) = 162 ft²
__
The total area of the figure is the sum of these:
area = triangle area + rectangle area
area = 12 ft² +162 ft²
area = 174 ft²
Answer:
y=-3/2x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the slope by taking two points on the graph, and making the one that occurs earlier in the graph (from left to right) the first point (x1, y1) and the one that occurs later in the graph the second point (x2, y2). The equation is m (or slope)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). I took the first two points in the table for this. m=(12-18)/-4-(-8)
the double negative on the bottom becomes an addition=> (12-18)/(-4+8)
the top simplifies to be -6 and the bottom simplifies to 4=>-6/4
this fraction can be reduced to -3/2, which is the slope of the graph.
Now, use point slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)) to find the equation of the graph. Plug any coordinate on the graph in for x1 and y1 here. It should be correct as long as it is a point on the graph, but I am using the point (-8, 18) here.
=>y-18=-3/2(x-(-8))
the double negative in the parentheses becomes a positive=> y-18=-3/2(x+8)
distribute the -3/2 to every term in the parentheses=> y-18=-3/2x-12
add 18 to both sides, cancelling out the -18 on the left side of the equation=>y=-3/2x+6 (-12+18=6 to get 6 for b).
Therefore, the equation is y=-3/2x+6
Answer:
y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
1. m is the slope (lesson on slope ) mnemonic : 'm' means 'move'
2. b is the y -intercept ( lesson on the y-intercept ) mnemonic : 'b' means where the line begins.
Answer:
20x30xH=7000
11.6666 , depends on how much you need to round it. if 2 sig figs, round it to 12.
Use the slope formula
y2-y1
m=---------
x2-x1
(rise-->y over run-->x)
so it would be
9-5
m=-------
1-10
and that would simplify to
4
----
-9
and that would be your slope.
Hope that helped :-)
