Bev has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend and wants to know exactly how much area she will be cutting. Calculate the area of the polygon. Be sure to show all your work and explain your answer. (IN YOUR OWN WORDS)

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you have a weird shape to find area, either add area to make it pretty or split it up.

Add area: make it a rectangle, length 19 width 29.

19*29 =  551

then subtract the area we added

I attached a picture

the total area subtracted is 225/2 + 210+8 = 330.5

551 - 330.5 = 220.5

Split it up: a triangle, a rectangle, a triangle

attached pic

15*15/2 + 100+8 = 220.5

Note: not to scale

Also: might be confusing

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

200< 260 < 265
