Find the area of the figure

Please help :)

9514 1404 393

  66.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line at the "knee" on the right will divide the figure into a 4 cm by 2 cm rectangle, and a trapezoid with bases 4 cm and 9 cm, and height 11-2 = 9 cm. Then the total area of the figure is ...

  A = LW + 1/2(b1 +b2)h

  A = (4 cm)(2 cm) + (1/2)(4 cm +9 cm)(9 cm) = 8 cm² +58.5 cm²

  A = 66.5 cm² . . . . area of the figure

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

well what did you do it matters what you did : )
