The area of the figure is
square units.

80 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given can be decomposed to have two trapezoids of equal dimensions and a rectangle.

Area of the figure = (2*area of a trapezoid) + (area of a rectangle)

Area of the 2 trapezoids:

Area of the two trapezoid = 2(½(a + b)*h)

Where,

a = 2 + 6 + 2 = 10 units

b = 6 units

h = 2 units

Plug in the values:

Area of the two trapezoid = 2(½(10 + 6)*2)

= 2(½(16)*2)

Area = 32 units²

Area of the rectangle:

Area = length × width

Length = 8 units

Width = 6 units

Area = 8 × 6 = 48 units²

✔️Area of the figure = 32 + 48 = 80 units²

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
