Find the area of the polygon with vertices (1, 2) (1, -5) (5, -5) (5,2)

28 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

These vertices are written in the form of their x and y coordinates. Let

A=(1,2) ; B =(1,-5) ; C =(5, -5) ; D=(5,2)

The x points are 1, 1, 5, 5

The y points are 2,-5, -5, 2

The x extremes range from 1 to 5. The length  in-between is 5-1 = 4

The y extremes range from -5 to 2. The length  in-between is 2-(-5) = 7

Area of the polygon enclosed by the coordinates

   = 4 x 7 = 28 square units

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
