(a) Decompose the letter into rectangles in three different ways.
(b) What is the area of the letter? Calculate the area in three different ways. Show your work.

The answer to your question is Area = 39.15 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

See the picture below

Process

1.- Calculate the area of rectangle 1

Area = base x height

Area = (8.8)(6.55 - 4.3)

Area = (8.8)(2.25)

Area = 19.8 in²

2.- Calculate the area of rectangle 2

Area = (4.3)(2.25)

Area = 9.675 in²

3.- Calculate the area of rectangle 3

Area = (4.3)(2.25)

Area = 9.675 in²

4.- Calculate the total area

Area = 19.8 + 9.675 + 9.675

Area = 39.15 in²

Second way

Area 1 = 2[6.55 x 2.25]

Area 1 = 29.475 in²

Area 2 = (8.8 - 2.25 - 2.25)(6.55 - 4.3)

Area 2 = 4.3 x 2.25

Area 2 = 9.675 in²

Total area = 29.475 + 9.675

                 = 39.15 in²

Third way

Area 1 = (8.8 - 2.25)(6.55 - 4.3)

          = (6.55)(2.25)

          = 14.7375 in²

Area 2 = (4.3)(2.25)

           = 9.675 in²

Area 3 = (6.55)(2.25)

           = 14.7375 in²

Total area = 14.7375 + 9.675 + 14.7375

                 = 39.15 in²

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

no because mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared while gold has 19.32 grams centimeter squared
