Answer:

The area of the trapezoid is 56.25² feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $A=\frac{b+B}{2} h$

A = area (of the trapezoid)
b = base of the trapezoid
B = (other) base of the trapezoid
h = height of the trapezoid

*Note: Trapezoids have 2 bases that are parallel to one another, but are not always the same length.

Using the information given to us, we can simply plug in numbers into the equation. By doing so, we'd get $A=\frac{7.9+14.6}{2} 5$ . By plugging this into a calculator, you'd get $A=56.25$ .

From an 8- foot board, a carpenter sawed off one piece that was 2 3/4 feet long and another piece that was 3 1/2 feet long. How

Answer:

1 3/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/4 = 0.5

3/4 = 0.75

Now, for the numbers for this problem.

2 3/4 would be equal to 2.75

3 1/2 would be equal to 3.5

Add those two numbers together and you get 6.25

Subtract that from 8 and you get 1.75 or 1 3/4

Mrs. Bonilla is a saleswoman at a furniture store. Her commission on rugs is 10% and her commission on furniture is 15%. Her goa

lara31 [8.8K]

<span>so here is how you can answer this:

Your commission must be equal to the sum of the 10% of the value of the rug and the 15% of the value of the furniture and equate this to the value of your commission. Translate this to a mathematical equation, you would get,

Commission = (10%) (value of rugs) + (15%) (value of furniture).
substituting the known values,

5000 =.1 * x + .15 * 12500.

Now it's a matter of finding for x. You should get,

x = $31,250.</span>

Answer:

(x + 7)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 15x + 56 \\ = {x}^{2} + 8x + 7x + 56 \\ = {x}(x + 8) + 7(x + 8) \\ = \huge \red{ \boxed{ (x + 8)(x + 7)}}$
