A. what is the area of this polygon
B. Describes the steps taken to get this area

A. The area is 4 square units

B. The description is below

Break the figure into two parts along the dashed line. So we get a triangle on the left and a rectangle on the right.

The triangle has horizontal base of 3-1 = 2, and height 2. It's area is base*height/2 = 2*2/2 = 4/2 = 2 square units.

The rectangle is 1 by 2, so it's area is length*width = 1*2 = 2 square units.

Combine the two smaller areas to get the overall area: 2+2 = 4 square units

As an alternative, you can use the trapezoid area formula

b1 = 3 and b2 = 1 are the two parallel bases

h = 2 is the height

A = area of trapezoid

A = h*(b1+b2)/2

A = 2*(3+1)/2

A = 2*4/2

A = 8/2

A = 4 square units

answer: y=4000x+14000

step-by-step explanation:

the above table 1 will calculate the population size (n) after a certain length of time (t). all you need to do is plug in the initial population number (no), the growth rate (r) and the length of time (t). the constant (e) is already entered into the equation. it stands for the base of the natural logarithms (approximately 2.71828). growth rate (r) and time (t) must be expressed in the same unit of time, such as years, days, hours or minutes. for humans, population growth rate is based on one year. if a population of people grew from 1000 to 1040 in one year, then the percent increase or annual growth rate is 40/1000 x 100 = 4 percent.
