Sarah would like to build a garden this year. Sarah measured out the outside of her proposed garden and would like to know how many square feet of space she will have to use. Calculate the area of her garden from the picture below.

139.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take 7*6 then 5*7 and add them you get 77.

Then the next part is finding the area of a trapezoid (a+b)/2*h then you plug the numbers in (8+17)/2*5=62.5

Add 77+62.5=139.5

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
