The given shapes area is found to be 4 square yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; To determine the area of an indefinite shape we must divide it into the shapes that we know. The shape that is given can be split into a triangle with a rectangle in it.
Step 2; Any given triangles area is half the multiplication of its base value and its height value. In the given diagram, the base of the triangle measures a length of 5 yards and the length from base to top is 4 yards
Area of the triangle = * base * height =
* 5 * 4 = 10 square yards.
The given rectangle measures a length of 3 yards and a width of 2 yards. The area of any given rectangle is the multiplication of its length and width.
Area of the rectangle = Length * Width = 3 yards * 2 yards = 6 square yards.
Step 3; To find the total area of the shape we must subtract the the rectangle's area from the triangle's area.
Area of given shape = Area of the triangle - Area of the rectangle.
Area of given shape = 10 square yards - 6 square yards = 4 square yards.
She deposited two amounts, let's say "a" and "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest
the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
or b = 2*a -> b = 2a
now.. .the sum of both earned interest, was $1190
so.. one can say that (2% of a) + (2.5% of b) = 1190
let' us use the decimal notation then
solve for "a" to find what the "a" amount is,
to find "b", well, "b" is "2a", so just do a 2*a to get "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest
the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
