Question

The shape of nevada can almost be divided into a perfect rectangle and a perfect triangle.about how many square miles dose nevada cover

Answer 1

The correct answer to the question: The shape of Nevada can almost be divided into a perfect rectangle and a perfect triangle. About how many square miles does Nevada cover?, the answer would be, that in the whole, Nevada covers around 110.561 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nevada is a state in the western coast of the United States. It borders the states of California, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Arizona. At its northernmost edge, Nevada stretches its horizontal borders between Oregon and Idaho, from the middle line of Oregon, to the middle line of Idaho. Then, on its easternmost border, Nevada shares everything with Utah, until its tip dips into Arizona. On the westernmost side, Nevada shares all of its border there with California, until the edge with Oregon. In total, the real land area of this state is calculated at: 109.826 square miles, but the total area is calculated at 110.561 square miles.

Answer 2

Unfortunately though, we are not given with the dimensions of the perfect triangle and perfect rectangle which would compose Nevada. The square miles that Nevada cover may be calculated by adding the areas of the rectangle and triangle which are calculated by the equations below.
Area of triangle = bh/2
Area of rectangle = bh
