Yes, that's basically part of the definition of "area" - and a useful way to measure or calculate the area of more complicated shapes.

How do you find the area of the shaded region in a rectangle?

You will need to divide the shaded area into smaller parts, such as triangles or rectangles, or find the length of sides of these polygons.


Can a segment bisector split a segment into two equal parts?

The term bisector means that bi is the two of something (a cycle with two wheels is a bicycle, for instance). Therefore a bisector will split a segment, area, angle, into two equal parts.


Area of a shaded region formula?

Simply put, the area of a shaded region can be calculated using: Area of shaded region = Total area - Area of unshaded region. Sometimes finding the area is simple, and other times, not so easy. Often , it is necessary to subdivide areas into shapes mathematics provides regular area formulas for.


Assume the following measurements. X 8 feet. Y 20 feet. The region 'a' has an area of 40 square feet. The region 'b' has an area of 65 square feet. What is the area of region 'c'?

XY = area of the rectangle. We know the region 'a' and 'b', but are left with two unknowns: region 'c' and the gray area. Since we have no data on the gray area, we can't know region 'c


How can you divide a hexagon into 6 equal parts?

Oh, what a lovely question! To divide a hexagon into 6 equal parts, simply draw lines from each corner of the hexagon to the center. This will create 6 equal triangles within the hexagon, each with the same size and shape. Remember, there are many ways to divide and create beauty in this world, just like there are many ways to divide a hexagon!

Area of a shaded region?

Well, honey, the area of a shaded region is simply the difference between the total area and the area of the unshaded parts. Just calculate the area of the entire shape and subtract the areas of any parts that aren't shaded. It's basic math, darling, nothing to lose sleep over.

What is the meaning of Crotch?

The crotch is the region of the human body between the legs where they join the torso, overlapping the groin. It is the area containing the genitals. As such, it is considered one of the intimate parts. This includes some relation to animals which also possess a crotch. See the "Related Links" section below for more information on the crotch and alternative meanings.


Find z such 99 percent percent of the area under the standard normal curve lies between -z and z?

z = 2.5783 Explanation: You should make a sketch of the normal curve, with a mean of zero. Now, shade in the region between -z to z as 0.99. The unshade parts must equal 1 - 0.99 or 0.01. Each unshaded parts (left and right tails) are equal, so we need the area of the cumulative normal equal to 0.005, which is -2.5783. I used Excel function: norminv(0.005,0,1). So from -2.5783 to 2.5784, the area is equal to 0.99 and from minus infinity to -2.5783, the area is 0.005 and from 2.5783 to infinity, the area is 0.005.

How do you show multiplying fractions as a picure?

To visually represent multiplying fractions, you can use a rectangular grid. First, draw a rectangle and divide it into equal parts based on the denominator of the first fraction (for example, if multiplying 1/2 by 1/3, divide the rectangle into 2 equal vertical sections). Then, shade in the appropriate number of sections for the numerator of the first fraction and repeat this process for the second fraction by dividing the rectangle horizontally into equal parts based on its denominator and shading the corresponding sections. The overlapping shaded area represents the product of the two fractions.
