The students at Homestead High School are building the shape below to put on their school. What is the total area of the shape in square units?

The area is 60 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Break it up into pieces.

The vertical rectangle on the left:

A = lw = 12*2 = 24 square units

The vertical rectangle on the right:

A = lw = 12*2 = 24 square units

The little rectangle in the middle:

A = lw = 6*2 = 12 square units

24+24+12 = 60 square units total

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
