He picture shows two sections of Mrs. Jones's art supply drawer. A picture. Short description, A picture.,Long description,
The picture shows 2 rectangular sections of an art supply drawer. One section, labeled Paints, is 10 inches long and 6 inches wide. The second section, labeled Brushes, is 8 inches long and 3 inches wide.

Question
What is the total area of both sections of the drawer? Enter the answer in the box.

x

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

what is the answer to this

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
