I got my perimeter and area of rectangle is also correct, but having trouble with area of the triangle. Area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh or in this problem A=(1/2)(8)(15). You do not use the 17 which is the side of the triangle. ?

the perimeter is 76ft

the side of the triangle is the same as the side of the rectangle (15)

so 15×8=120 120/2=60

so the area of the triangle is 60 so add that to the area of the rectangle and get

the area is 330ft squared

i can you answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
