On the following composite figure, the longer edge length is 14 millimeters. The shorter edge length is 8 millimeters. The width of the figure, at its longest point, is 11.3 millimeters. Find the area of the figure. Explain or show how you got your answer. Note: Lines that look parallel are parallel, and angles that look like right angles are right angles.

158.2 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of this figure as a rectangle in which a triangle from the bottom was moved to the top.

The area of the figure is the area of the rectangle.

A = LW = 14 mm * 11.3 mm = 158.2 mm^2

you are saying it as if a fact, not a question, but yes, you would be correct? ; )

step-by-step explanation:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
