Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Shape and Grid

The shaded figure is a quadrilateral, and each grid square represents one square yard.

Step 2: Decompose the Shape

Decompose the quadrilateral into two triangles by drawing a diagonal from one vertex to the opposite vertex.

Step 3: Calculate the Area of Each Triangle

  1. Triangle 1:

    • Base = 6 yards (horizontal distance)
    • Height = 5 yards (vertical distance)
    • Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 6 * 5 = 15 square yards

  2. Triangle 2:

    • Base = 6 yards (horizontal distance)
    • Height = 5 yards (vertical distance)
    • Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 6 * 5 = 15 square yards

Final Answer

The area of the shaded figure is the sum of the areas of the two triangles: \[ 15 \text{ square yards} + 15 \text{ square yards} = 30 \text{ square yards} \]

The correct answer is: \[ \boxed{30 \text{ yd}^2} \]

States of Manter Using Charles's Law An arctic weather balloon is filled with 26.1 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 6 °C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -12 °C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
