You want to frost a 13 in. by 9 in. cake that you just baked when you notice your little brother ate a piece right out of the middle. What area of cake is left to be frosted if he ate a 2 in. by 2 in. piece? no links pls :) thanks will give brainliest

113 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

13 times 9 is 117 inches (this is the area for the whole cake)

2 times 2 is 4 (this is just the middle)

But since the brother ate the middle you will have to subtract the area of the middle piece from the whole area.

117-4 is 113 so the area now is 113 inches

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
