Answer:
80 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break down the composite shape into two parts. (Image attached)
- Let "a" represent the area of the smaller square.
- Let "b" represent the area of the bigger square
⇒ The side length of "a" is 4 cm.
⇒ The side length of "b" is 8 cm.
First, let's find the area of square "a". Keep in mind that the area of a square is the side multiplied by itself.
⇒ (Side)² = A
⇒ (4)² = Area of "a"
⇒ (4)(4) = Area of "a"
⇒ 16 cm² = Area of "a"
Next, find the area of square "b". Keep in mind that the area of a square is the side multiplied by itself.
⇒ (Side)² = A
⇒ (8)² = Area of "b"
⇒ (8)(8) = Area of "b"
⇒ 64 cm² = Area of "b"
Finally, let's sum up the area of square "a" and "b" to find the area of the composite shape.
⇒ Area of composite shape = Area of "a" + Area of "b"
⇒ Area of composite shape = 16 + 64
⇒ Area of composite shape = 80 cm²

Answer:
The correct answer is t < 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lauren wants to keep her cell phone bill below $60 per month.
Lauren's current cellphone plan charges her a fixed price of $30 and per text price for one text is $0.50.
Let Lauren sends t texts in a complete month.
Total money spent on texts in a month is given by $ (0.50 × t)
Therefore Lauren's total spent in a month is given by $ (30 + (0.50 × t)).
But this amount should be under $60 as per as the given problem.
∴ 30 + (0.50 × t) < 60
⇒ (0.50 × t) < 30
⇒ t <
⇒ t < 60.
So in order to keep her phone monthly bill under $60, Lauren should keep her number of texts below 60.
