A patio deck in the shape of a parallelogram has three square cutouts for trees to grow through each square has a side length of 4 1/2 ft what area of wood boards is needed to cover the deck while leaving room for the square cutouts

1048.05 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the deck is 50.4 x 22 = 1108.8 square ft.

The area of 1 cut out is 4.5 x 4.5 = 20.25

There are 3 cut outs so total area of the cut outs is 20.25 x 3 = 60.75 square ft.

The total area of the boards is : 1108.8 - 60.75 = 1048.05 square feet.

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y - (-5) = 2/3(x -0)

y + 5 = 2/3x

y = 2/3x - 5

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
