This question was posted almost a week ago, and I am not sure if you still need the answer, but I'll explain it.
The total number of all of the shapes were placed in the bag are equal to 100. The number comes from adding 32+20+48=100.
This is our total number and will be the denominator.
There are a total of 32 cards which have a hexagon, this number will be our numerator.
So far we have 32/100 , but this is not simplest form.
Next to reduce the fraction, the GCF must be found.
32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 32
100: :
This is the concept of areas of solid figures. The surface are of the solid figure formed when 2 square pyramids are attached will be given by:
SA=[number of triangular faces]*[Area of each triangle]
Number of triangular faces=8
Area of each triangle=1/2*bh
base=6/4=1.5 cm
height=2 cm
thus;
Area=1/2*2*1.5=1.5
The surface area will therefore be:
SA=1.5*8=12cm^2
30 times as many students than teachers
Equation = 450/30 = 15 teachers
