This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).

Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2

b1 = 8

b2 = 12

h = 5

Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2

Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2

Area = 50 square feet.

The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.

Answer:

u = ± 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

u² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

u = ± $\sqrt{16}$ = ± 4

u = - 4, u = 4

Nikitich [7]

Odysseus and his men then took the timber and heated the sharpened end in the fire until it glowed red. Then, with all their strength, they pushed the red-hot point into the eye of Polyphemus.

Ms. Skeen bought 3 pounds of candy for the Christmas party. There was a total of 147 pieces of candy. She wants to divide it amo

ohaa [14]

The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.

What is the answer need it

Answer:

$\frac{7}{10} |$

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

2/3 + 7/10 = ?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(2/3, 7/10) = 30

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

$(\frac{2}{3}$ * $\frac{10}{10})$ + $(\frac{7}{10} * \frac{3}{3})$ = ?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

$\frac{20}{30} + \frac{21}{30}$

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

$\frac{20+21}{30} = \frac{41}{30}$

This fraction cannot be reduced.

The fraction 41/30

is the same as

41 divided by 30

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 41 ÷ 30 = 1R11, so

41/30 = 1 11/30

Therefore:

2/3+7/10= 1 11/30

STEP 2:

41/30 + -2/3

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(41/30, -2/3) = 30

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

$(\frac{41}{30} *\frac{1}{1} ) + ( \frac{-2}{3} * \frac{10}{10} )$
