<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Scott will need 168 ft² of pavers to cover his patio

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Scott wants to cover a trapezoid-shaped patio

<u>This means that:</u>

To get the number of square feet of pavers he'll need, we need to get the area of his patio

<u>Area of trapezium id calculated as follows:</u>

Area = \frac{base_{1}+base_{2}}{2} * height

<u>We are given that:</u>

base₁ = 11 ft

base₂ = 13 ft

height = 14 ft

<u>We now substitute with the givens to get the area as follows:</u>

Area = \frac{11+13}{2} * 14 = 168ft^2

<u>This means that:</u>

Scott will need 168 ft² of pavers to cover his patio

Hope this helps :)

Hi, having trouble understanding this question.. as well as solving it.
kramer

-- You have two angles.

-- They're complementary . . . they add up to 90 degrees.

-- One is 4 times as big as the other one.
___________________________________________

-- The smaller angle has 1 share of the 90 degrees.

-- The bigger angle has 4 shares of the 90 degrees.

-- (The smaller one is 1/4 the size of the bigger one.
   The bigger one is 4 times the size of the smaller one.)

-- When you add them together, you get 5 shares, totaling 90 degrees.

-- What's the size of each share ?  It's 90/5 = 18 degrees.

-- The smaller angle gets one share . . . 18 degrees.

-- The bigger angle gets 4 shares.   (4 x 18) = 72 degrees.
____________________________________

Check:

-- Is the small one 1/4 the size of the big one ?    18/72 = 1/4  Yes.

-- Are they complementary ?  Do they add up to 90 degrees ?

                                                                       18 + 72  =  90  Yes.

                                                                                 yay !

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

7-24-25

7² + 24² = 25²

49 + 576 = 625

625 = 625

9-40-41

9² + 40² = 41²

81 + 1600 = 1681
