Answer:
The answer is 2240m².
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the formula of area of trapezium is A = 1/2×(a+b)×h where a and b represents the length and h is height :
The fence is 210 ft long.
There is a post every 3.5 ft.
If you divide 210 ft by 3.5 ft, you get the number of spaces between posts.
(210 ft)/(3.5 ft) = 60
The fence starts with a post. Then there is 3.5 ft of fencing. Then there is another post. Then there is another 3.5 ft of fencing followed by a post. In total there are 61 posts.
Here's another way of thinking of why you end up with 60 posts.
For each 3.5 ft of fencing, you place a post at the end of the fencing.
Since there are 60 3.5-ft-long pieces of fencing, there will be 60 posts, one at the end of each piece of fencing. The first thing that is done is to put the initial post before any fencing is put up. The first post plus 60 more posts add up to 61 posts.
Now that you see why there are 61 posts, we can calculate their cost.
61 * $8.50 = $518.50
The question in English
<span>A dance was attended by 270 people. If the gentlemen tickets cost 100 pesos and the lady tickets 80 pesos and 24800 pesos were collected for all the tickets. How many women and how many men attended the dance?
let
x---------> the number of men
y--------> the number of women
we know that
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> equation 1
100x+80y=24800-------> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
the answer is
the number of men ---> 160
the number of women----> 110
the answer in Spanish
</span>hagamos
x--------->la cantidad de hombres
y--------->la cantidad de mujeres
Sabemos que
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> ecuacion 1
100x+80y=24800-------> ecuacion 2
sustituimos la ecuacion 1 en la ecuacion 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
La respuesta es
la cantidad de hombres es 160
la cantidad de mujeres es 110
