A shape is made up of 8 right triangles of equal size. each right triangle has a base of 4cinches and a height of 15 inches. what is the area in square inches of the shape​

area = 240 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

each triangle area = 1/2(4)(15) =30 in²

30 x 8 = 240 in²

240 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = height x base  = 15 x 4 = 60 = 30

                                       2                     2        2

                           = 30 x 8 = 240 inches ²

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
