Please help me solve this composite shape step by step
Answer:
73 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Areas and volumes of composite figures are found by dividing the figure into shapes you have formulas for. Sometimes that will be a sum of shapes, and sometimes it will involve the difference of shapes.
__
setupThis shape can be decomposed into two rectangles by extending the horizontal line. (This is the dashed line shown in the attachment.)
The width of the top rectangle will be the sum of the lengths of the labeled horizontal segments:
4 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm = 12 cm
The height of the top rectangle, and the dimensions of the bottom rectangle (square) are shown in the given figure.
The area of each rectangle is the product of its width and height.
A = WH
__
solutiontop rectangle area = WH = (12 cm)(4 cm) = 48 cm²
bottom rectangle area = WH = (5 cm)(5 cm) = 25 cm²
Area = top rectangle area + bottom rectangle area = (48 cm²) +(25 cm²)
Area = 73 cm²
The area of this composite shape is 73 cm².
_____
Additional comment
The figure will fit into a rectangle that is 9 cm high by 12 cm wide. From that rectangle, a rectangle 5 cm high and 4 cm wide is removed from the lower left, and a rectangle 5 cm high and 3 cm wide is removed from the lower right. Figuring the area this way, we find it to be ...
figure area = bounding rectangle area - removed areas
= (9 cm)(12 cm) -(5 cm)(4 cm) -(5 cm)(3 cm) = 108 cm² -20 cm² -15 cm²
= 73 cm²

Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
[tex]\frac{5}{x + 3} + \frac4{x + 2} = 2[/tex][tex]5 + \frac{4(x + 3)}{x + 2} = 2(x + 3)[/tex][tex]5 + \frac{4x + 12}{x + 2} = 2x + 6[/tex][tex]5(x + 2) +4x + 12 = (2x + 6)(x + 2)[/tex][tex]5x + 10 + 4x + 12 = 2x^2 + 6x + 4x + 12[/tex][tex]9x + 22 = 2x^2 + 10x + 12[/tex]Let's make one side equal to 0.
[tex]0 = 2x^2 + x - 10[/tex]Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
[tex]0 = 2x^2 + x - 10\\[/tex]Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, [tex]ax^2 + bx + c[/tex], think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
[tex]0 = 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10[/tex][tex]0 = 2x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2)[/tex][tex]0 = (2x + 5)(x - 2)[/tex]Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
2x + 5 = 0The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
Answer:
x = -5/2, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{5}{x+3}+\dfrac{4}{x+2} = 2}[/tex]
With restriction that x-values cannot be -3 and -2 else it will turn the expression as in undefined.
First, multiply both sides by (x+3)(x+2) to get rid of the denominator.
[tex]\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{5}{x+3}\cdot (x+2)(x+3)+\dfrac{4}{x+2} \cdot (x+2)(x+3) = 2 \cdot (x+2)(x+3)}\\\\\displaystyle \large{5(x+2)+4(x+3) = 2(x+2)(x+3)}[/tex]
Simplify/Expand in:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{5x+10+4x+12 = 2(x^2+5x+6)}\\\\\displaystyle \large{9x+22=2x^2+10x+12}[/tex]
Arrange the terms or expression in quadratic equation:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{0=2x^2+10x+12-9x-22}\\\\\displaystyle \large{2x^2+x-10=0}[/tex]
Factor the expression:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{(2x+5)(x-2)=0}[/tex]
Solve like linear equation as we get:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{x=-\dfrac{5}{2}, 2}[/tex]
Since both x-values are not exact -2 or -3 - therefore, these values are valid. Hence, x = -5/2, 2

Write an equation that represents the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
a general line equation is
y = ax + b
"a" being the slope is the line, "b" being the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).
we see from the 2 marked points (by we could choose any points on the line) that
y changes by 2 units, when x changes by 3 units.
so the slope is 2/3.
we use one point (1, 2) to solve for b
2 = 2/3 × 1 + b = 2/3 + b
6/3 = 2/3 + b
4/3 = b
and the full equation is
y = 2/3 x + 4/3

A straight line is represented by a linear equation given below.
The points are given as (1, 2) and (4, 4).
Start by calculating the slope (m)
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
So, we have
[tex]m=\frac{4-2}{4-1} \\m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
What is the slope-intercept form of the line?The equation in slope-intercept form is then calculated as:
[tex]y=m(x-x_1)+y_1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y=\frac{2}{3}(x-1)+2\\ \\y=\frac{2}{3}(x-4)+4\\[/tex]

So, the possible equations are:

There is 2.50m of rope and 11.5 inch pieces are cut. How many centimeters of rope will be left over?
Answer:
1.42 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 m = 98.4251 inches
98.4251 in / 11.5 in =8.5587
.5587 inches left over =1.42 cm
There will be 18.87 centimeters of rope left over.
What is unit conversion?It is the conversion of one unit to another unit with its standard conversion.
Examples:
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 km = 1000 m
We have,
Let's convert the length of the rope to inches.
1 meter = 39.37 inches
2.50m = 98.43 inches
Now,
The number of 1.5-inch pieces.
= 98.43 / 11.5
= 8.55 pieces
Now,
11.5 inches pieces are cut.
This means,
= 98.43 - (8x11.5)
= 7.43 inches
Now,
1 inch = 2.54 cm
7.43 inch = 18.87 cm
Thus,
There will be 18.87 centimeters of rope left over.

The probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP is 0.99979
What is the probability of determining that he would have done well with no ESP?To determine the probability, we need to first find the probability of doing well with ESP.
The probability of having 20 correct answers out of 23 coin flips is:

Since we have 20 correct answers, we also need to find the probability of getting 3 answers wrong, which is:

The value of x to the nearest tenth is 23.3°.
What is Law of Sines?Law of sines is defined as that ratio of the length of the sides of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite to the these sides are equal.
That is, if a, b and c are sides opposite to the angles A, B and C respectively, then,
a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C
Given is a triangle ABC.
Using the law of sines,
AB / Sin C = BC / Sin A
We have to find the angle A.
Substituting,
18 / sin 22 = 19 / sin x
18 × sin(x) = 19 × sin (22°)
sin(x) = (19 × sin (22°)) / 18
sin x = 0.3954
x = 23.29° ≈ 23.3°

Please Help! The value of m is:
Answer:
The value of m in the figure is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we look at the figure, we see that 6 and 21, are connected with parallel lines to 8 and m. We can also see that 21 is dilated from 6. When dilating, we multiply or divide by a number, to get the extended or shortened length. (Just keep multiplication and division in mind)
To get m, we can do the same that we did to get 21, from 6.
To get 21 from 6, you must divide 21 by 6. So when we do the same thing to 8, we should get m.
21 / 6 = 3.5
Now that we have the dilation of 3.5, we simply multiply that by 8.
3.5 * 8 = 28
The value of x in the figure is 28.

which expression is not equivalent to -1.5(-6m+8n).
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
-1.5(-6m+8n) = 9m-12n
3(3m -4n) = 9m - 12n
9m -12n = 9m -12n
-6(-1.5m +2n) = 9m - 12n
-2(-4.5m+ 4n) = 9m - 8n
Answer: D. -2(-4.5m + 4n)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let us simplify -1.5(-6m+8n).
Given:
-1.5(-6m + 8n)
Distribute:
9m - 12n
[A] ✗
9 /3 = 3 and 12 / 3 = 4
This means that 3(3m - 4n) = 9m - 12n = -1.5(-6m+8n)
Option A is not our answer.
[B] ✗
Using this simplified version we did above, option B is not our answer as 9m - 12n = 9m - 12n and 9m - 12n = -1.5(-6m+8n).
[C] ✗
We will distribute option C to see if we reach the same expression. Seeing below, we do, so option C is not our answer.
-6(-1.5m + 2n)

2d*6=12d
54-18 = 12d
36/12 = 12d/12
d = 3
Answer:
d = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6 ( 3 + 2d ) = 54
First, solve the brackets.
18 + 12d = 54
Take 18 to the right side.
12d = 54 - 18
12d = 36
Divide both sides by 12.
d = 3

Answer:
cost of a doughnut is $0.75
cost of a cookie is $0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
As you wrote:
Let x = doughnuts
Let y = cookies
The first sentence of the problem (alexandra) can be written as:
[tex]2x + 3y = 3.30[/tex]
The second sentence of the equation (briana) can be written as:
[tex]5x + 2y = 4.95[/tex]
We must now solve for either [tex]x[/tex] or [tex]y[/tex] in this system of equations.
I will solve for [tex]x[/tex] in this example.
First we need to multiply the first equation by [tex]2[/tex] and the second equation by [tex]3[/tex]. This is so both equations have [tex]6y[/tex] as a term.
Equation 1:
[tex]2(2x + 3y) = (3.30)2\\4x + 6y = 6.60[/tex]
Equation 2:
[tex]3(5x + 2y) = (4.95)3\\15x+6y=14.85[/tex]
Now that both equations have [tex]6y[/tex] as a term, we can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2. This will remove y from the equation and allow us to solve for x.
[tex](15x+6y) - (4x+6y) = (14.85) - (6.60)\\11x = 8.25\\\boxed{x = 0.75}[/tex]
We now know the cost of a doughnut is $0.75. Now we can solve for the cost of a cookie through substitution.
[tex]2x + 3y = 3.30\\2(0.75) + 3y = 3.30\\1.50 + 3y = 3.30\\3y = 1.80\\\boxed{y = 0.6}[/tex]
Now we know the cost of a cookie is $0.60.
