a rectangular lawn of dimensions 6x metres by x metres. In the centre is a rectangular flower bed of length (x + 4) m and width (x - 1) m. If the area of the shaded region is 40 m’, calculate the area of the flower bed.​

The area of flower bed is 8.96 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of lawn = 6 x

width of lawn = x

length of flower bed = x + 4

width of flower bed = x - 1

Area of shaded region = 40 m^2

Area of the shaded region

6 x (x) - (x +4)(x -1) = 40

As length cannot have negative value, so x = 2.4 m.

Area of flower bed = (x + 4)(x - 1) = (2.4 + 4)(2.4 - 1) = 8.96 m^2

g = (2, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

given the ratio is 1 : 1 then f is the midpoint of eg

let the coordinates of g = (x, y)

using the midpoint formula

(0 + x) = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

0 + x = 2 ⇒ x = 2

similarly

(4 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4 + y = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 2

coordinates of g = (2, 2)
