What is the area of this figure? 13 mi
5 mi
8 mi
6 mi
3 mi
7 mi
square miles

86 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you have to separate the shape into smaller ones. In this case, you can separate the shape into one larger rectangle on top and one smaller rectangle on bottom.

Area of large rectangle on top:

13 miles x 5 miles = 65 square miles

Area of smaller rectangle on bottom:

3 miles x 7 miles = 21 square miles

65 + 21 = 86 square miles

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
