See the picture

56.16 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Work out the area of the middle rectangle

7.2 × 7.6 = 54.72 m²

→ Work out the area of the triangle on the left side

0.5 × 7 × 7.2 = 25.2 m²

→ Work out the area of the triangle on the right side

0.5 × 8.6 × 7.2 = 30.96 m²

→ As it asks for the shaded area, add up the triangle area

30.96 + 25.2 = 56.16 m²

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
