Answer:

h = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the height )

given A = 450 and b = 18 , then

18h = 450 ( divide both sides by 18 )

h = 25

Find the separate areas.

We have a triangle with base 5 cm and height 5 cm, calculate the area:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

Plug in what we know:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(5)$

Multiply:

$\sf A=12.5~cm^2$

Now for the two quarter circles, we know that if we put these two together we will end up with a semi-circle with radius 5 cm. The formula for the area of a circle is:

$\sf A=\pi r^2$

A semi-circle is half of a whole circle, so the formula for the area of it must be:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2$

Now plug in what we know(use 3.14 to approximate for pi):

$\sf A\approx\dfrac{1}{2}(3.14)(5)^2$

Simplify the exponent:

$\sf A\approx\dfrac{1}{2}(3.14)(25)$

Multiply:

$\sf A\approx 39.25~cm^2$

Now add this to the area of the triangle to find the approximate area of the entire figure(round to the nearest tenth):

$\sf 39.25+12.5=\boxed{\sf 51.8~cm^2}$

At Devon's new job he spent $12.99, $10.50, $9.89, $6.90, and $7.58 on lunch the first week.

The mean for the second week increased by $0.40.

The mean for the first week is found by adding the data points and dividing by 5:
(12.99+10.50+9.89+6.90+7.58)/5 = $9.57

Since the cost increased by $2 the second week, we add two to the data points before dividing by 5:
(12.99+10.50+9.89+6.90+7.58+2)/5 = $9.97

To find the increase in means, subtract them:
9.97-9.57 = $0.40.
