Find the area of the shaded region of the figure below. Each small square is 1 cm x 1cm.

23 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the squares are each 1 cm × 1 cm, you can technically count all the shaded squares, but it is good to do it mathematically.

We can separate this shape into 1 parts. The top part sticking up is a square and the bottom, a rectangle. We find the area for both parts and add them together.

Square:

3 cm × 3 cm = 9 cm²

Rectangle:

2 cm × 7 cm = 14 cm²

Total:

9 cm² + 14 cm² = 23 cm²

sss (side, side, side)

sas (side, angle, side)

asa (angle, side, angle)

aas (angle, angle, side)

hl (hypotenuse, leg)

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
