Answer:
1–4 It looks like you need to review the area formulas for triangle, trapezoid, and rectangle. Pay particular attention to those that have a factor of 1/2.
5 correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Area formulas:
Triangle: A = (1/2)bh . . . . where b is the base and h is the height
Trapezoid: A = (1/2)(b₁ +b₂)h . . . . where b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the perpendicular distance between them (the height)
Rectangle: A = bh . . . . where b is the length of one side and h is the length of the perpendicular side.
Parallelogram: A = bh . . . . where b is the length of one side and h is the perpendicular distance between that and the opposite side (the height)
___
1.
The rectangle formula applies. b=23 ft, h=12 ft
2.
The triangle formula applies to each blade. b=7 ft, h=4 ft. The total area of 4 blades is desired.
3.
The trapezoid formula applies. b₁=11 cm, b₂=5 cm, h=4 cm.
4.
The parallelogram formula applies. b=10 mm, h=8 mm. Evaluating the answers, the triangle, trapezoid, and rectangle formulas apply.
