Bev has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend and wants to know exactly how much area she will be cutting. Calculate the area of the polygon. Be sure to show all your work and explain your answer. Six-sided polygon that includes two isosceles right triangles, one with height and base of 15 feet, the other height and base of 4 feet, and one rectangle measuring 25 feet by 4 feet. Which of the following best describes an anecdote?

25 feet by 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape is an irregular polygon. This means we have to find the area of the whole shape and then subtract the missing parts to get the correct answer.

First, we have to find the area of the whole shape (a rectangle). The formula for a rectangle's area is:

The length of the shape is 19 ft, and the width is 29 ft. Now, we apply the formula to those numbers:

Now that we know that the area of the whole polygon is 551 square feet, we have to find the area of:

1. The first missing triangle

2. The second missing triangle

3. The missing rectangle

Add all of those areas together, and then subtract them from 551 and we have the answer.

First, we find the area of the missing triangle in the top left hand corner. The area formula for a triangle is

So, we have to find the base and the height. We see that part of the whole polygon's width is 4 ft, which is not missing, so we subtract that from the total width, 19 ft.

This means that the triangle's base is 15 ft. Now, we have to find the height. We can easily see that the height is 15 ft, as it says so in the picture.

Now, we just have to apply the formula:

So, we have our first area, 112 square feet.

Now we have to find the area of the second missing triangle in the bottom right corner.

We know that the base is 4 ft, as it says so in the picture. The height is 24 ft. We know that the total height of the polygon is 29 ft, and we see a shaded part of 25 ft in height. So:

According to this equation, we have 4 ft in height. Using the area formula for triangles, here is our equation:

This equation states that our second area is 8 square feet.

Now, we just have our last area to find, the missing rectangle. According to all of the previous information, and the picture, we see that the width is 15 ft and the height is 14 ft. Now we apply the area formula for rectangles:

Lastly we add up all of our areas: 112.5 square feet, 8 square feet, and 210 square feet.

Then, we subtract 330.5 from 551:

The answer is 220.5

Tips:

1. Refer to the picture

2. the formulas are missing

3. I submitted this on my test and got it right so ya

henry ordered 5 large pizzas

step-by-step explanation:

sorry no step by step

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
