Agarden is sodded in the shaded portion below. how many square feet were covered with sod?

149 ft² were covered in sod

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

1- get the total area of the garden

2- get the area of the two uncovered triangles

3- Subtract the areas of the uncovered triangles from the total area of the garden

Now, let's proceed:

1- getting the total area of the garden:

The garden is rectangular shaped with dimensions 20 ft and 9.25 ft

Area of garden = length * width

Area of garden = 20 * 9.25 = 185 ft²

2- getting the areas of the two uncovered triangles:

The two triangles are congruent. Therefore, we will get the area of one triangle and multiply it by 2 to get the total area of the uncovered part

In the given triangle, we have:

base = height = 6 ft

Area of one triangle = 0.5 * base * height

Area of one triangle = 0.5 * 6 * 6 = 18 ft²

Total area of uncovered part = 2 * 18 = 36 ft²

3- getting the area of the covered part:

Covered area = total area - area of uncovered part

Covered area = 185 - 36 = 149 ft²

Hope this helps :)

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
