<h3>
Answer: Choice C) 421.9</h3>
=======================================
Explanation:
You're on the right track. You wrote down the proper expression to get the final answer, assuming you meant to write 75/4 as the third term inside the parenthesis. This works because each time you cut the side length in half to get each smaller triangle's side. The 3 is because there are 3 sides for each of the triangles. Much of this I have a feeling you already know as you wrote down the expression on the page, though I'm not 100% sure of your mindset. Computing this expression leads to 421.875 which rounds to 421.9
note: an alternative is to write 3*75 + 3*75/2 + 3*75/4 + 3*75/8, though that is more work. It's better to have that 3 factored out.
This relationship again shows that since w and y are perpendicular to each other that the smaller angles will add up to give 90 degrees.
3x + 3 + 15 = 90
3x + 18 = 90
3x = 90 - 18
3x = 72
X =72/3
X = 36 degrees
$ 295 because you can multiple 15×19.7 is =295.5
