A right triangle is formed by line segments KM, MP, and KP.

Based on the diagram, which describes the
best method to determine the area of the
shaded region?

A: The area of the shaded region is equal to
the sum of the areas of the two unshaded
regions.

B: The area of the shaded region is equal
to the difference in the areas of the
unshaded regions.

C: The area of the shaded region is equal
to the sum of the side lengths of the
unshaded regions.

D: The area of the shaded region is equal to
the difference in the side lengths of the
unshaded regions

B: The area of the shaded region is equal

to the difference in the areas of the

unshaded regions.

Step-by-step explanation:

i got this write on my homework :D

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
