Answer:

117 in²

<u>Finding the area of the trapezoid:</u>

First, we need to find the area of the trapezoid formed by the dotted lines. The formula for finding the area of the trapezoid is "(a₁ + a₂)h/2".

[Where, a₁ = shorter parallel side; a₂ = longer parallel side]

⇒ (a₁ + a₂)h/2 = Area of trapezoid

⇒ (14 + 26)15/2 = Area of trapezoid

⇒ Area of trapezoid = (40)15/2 = (20)15 = 300 in²

<u>Reviewing on how to find the area of the unshaded region:</u>

To find the area of the shaded region, we need to subtract the area of the unshaded region from the area of the trapezoid. In this case, the unshaded region is a triangle whose base is 26 inches. To find the area of the triangle, we need to use the formula 1/2 x Base x Height. We are given the base, but the height is unknown.

<u>Determining the height:</u>

We are given a small side length "6 inches" and the height of the trapezoid "15 inches". If we subtract the small side length from the height of the trapezoid, we will obtain the height of the triangle.

⇒ Height of trapezoid - Small side length = Height of triangle

⇒ 15 - 6 = Height of triangle

⇒ 9 in = Height of triangle

<u>Determining the area of the unshaded region:</u>

Now, let's substitute the base and the height in the formula to find the area of the triangle

⇒ 1/2 x Base x Height

⇒ 1/2 x 26 x 9

⇒ 13 x 9

⇒ 117 in²

<u>Determining the area of the shaded region:</u>

Finally, let's subtract the area of the unshaded region from the area of the trapezoid to obtain the area of the shaded region.

⇒ Area of trapezoid - Area of unshaded region = Area of shaded region

⇒ 300 - 117 = Area of shaded region

⇒ 183 in² = Area of shaded region

How much larger is 8 in 8237 and 8 in 823.7
balandron [24]
Since the 8 in the first number is in the thousands place, its value it 8*1000=8000.
Since the 8 in the second number is in the hundreds place, its value is 8*100=800.

8000 is ten times 800.
Final answer: 10x as large

the circle graph represents a family's monthly budget. if the total monthly budget is $5,000, how much does the family spend on
Vesnalui [34]
Theres no circle in the question but $5,000 is 100% but to calculate percentages, start by writing the number you want to turn into a percentage over the total value so you end up with a fraction. Then, turn the fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom number. Finally, multiply the decimal by 100 to find the percentage.
