Distributive property of division is that the division of a sum equals the division of the summands.
Algebraically, this is:
[x + y + z] / a = x/a + y/a + z/a.
So, applying this to 144 / 8, you can split 144 as [72 + 32 + 40] / 8 = 72/8 + 32/8 + 40/8 = 9 + 4 + 5 = 18

Split it into 7 triangles. Half-base of each is 2 so the distance of center to the midpoint of the base is (Pythagoras) square root of (4.62 - 22) = 4.162 triangle is this times 2, and with 7 triangles multiply also by 7 to get an approximate area of 58 sq in.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

35 Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 12

What I mean by that is 2 turns into 24 because you multiply 12 to it. Same thing for 420, except for the fact that you divide it (working backwards). So 420 divided by 12 equals 35:) Enjoy your day
