How can I find the area of this figure?

Area = y² + 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to combine like terms:

The little square is 1 unit, so 1

The two bars are each worth x, so 2 * x = 2x

The big square is y²

The total area is the sum of all terms:

Area = y² + 2x + 1

-Chetan K

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
