Which of the following statements is TRUE about finding the area of a polygon? A) You can use a coordinate plane to find the area of a polygon only if it is a triangle, rectangle, or square.
B) You can find the area of a polygon by dividing it into triangle and rectangle sub-parts and then calculating the area for only one of those sub-parts.
C) You can only find the area of a polygon if it is a triangle, rectangle, or square.
D) You can find the area of a polygon by dividing it into triangle and rectangle sub-parts, finding the area of the sub-parts, and then calculating the sum of the areas.

The answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
