1. The square on the inside is 8 x 8 = 64
2. The triangle's area is 8x9x1/2= 72 x 1/2 = 36
3. there are 4 triangles so 36 x 4 = (or 72 x 2 ) = 144 :)
Answer:
y = - 4x + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you require the equation of the line passing through the points.
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 4)
m = = = - 4, thus
y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (3, 4), then
4 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 12 = 16
y = - 4x + 16 ← equation of line
Then a is Half of 45 wich is 22.5 I believe.
