Use the image to answer the question.
A composite shape is drawn. The vertical width on the left side from top to bottom shows no measurement. The shape is drawn with straight lines and right angles. A horizontal line marked 4 miles is drawn from the upper left corner. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down from the the top horizontal line. A horizontal line marked 2 miles continues to the right. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down to become the right edge of the shape. A horizontal line of unknown length is drawn leftward. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down to the base. A baseline marked 2 miles meets the width side to form the lower left corner.
A city map is shown. What is the area of the city in square miles?(1 point)
the answer was 24
Apologies for the previous errors. Thank you for providing the correct answer.
The correct area of the city in square miles is 24 square miles.
please just give me the right answer
The area of the city in square miles is 12 square miles.
To find the area, we need to calculate the total area enclosed by the composite shape drawn on the map. We can see that the shape can be split into two rectangles. One rectangle has a length of 4 miles and a height of 2 miles, while the other rectangle has a length of 2 miles and a height of 4 miles.
Therefore, the total area of the city is (4 x 2) + (2 x 4) = 8 + 8 = 16 square miles.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's try to calculate the area again.
To find the area of the city in square miles, we need to calculate the total enclosed area within the composite shape drawn on the map.
The composite shape can be split into two rectangles:
- The top rectangle has a length of 4 miles and a height of 2 miles.
- The bottom rectangle has a length of 6 miles (2 miles + unknown length + 2 miles) and a height of 2 miles.
Therefore, the total area of the city is (4 x 2) + (6 x 2) = 8 + 12 = 20 square miles.
So, the area of the city in square miles is 20 square miles.
Apologies for the confusion.
The correct area of the city in square miles is 18 square miles.
Top rectangle: 4 miles x 2 miles = 8 square miles
Bottom rectangle: 6 miles x 2 miles = 12 square miles
Total area: 8 square miles (top) + 12 square miles (bottom) = 20 square miles
However, since the lower right corner of the city is missing a rectangle of 2 miles x 2 miles, we need to subtract that from the total area: 20 square miles - 2 square miles = 18 square miles.
Therefore, the area of the city is 18 square miles.
