Maori created this shape out of construction paper using a ruler and scissors. She made sure that all of her angles were right angles. What is the area of Maori's shape?

A) 36 cm2
B) 48 cm2
C) 90 cm2
D) 102 cm2

B) 48cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

find the area of the 2 rectangles

A = bh

A = 9×4

A = 36

A = bh

A = 6×2

A = 12

add them up you get 48cm²

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
