The width is 3m because 3*7 is 21m^2. Also they said the length is 4 more than the width (3+4=7)
Answer:
15 (mark me brainliest if you want and lmk if you need more help understanding)
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter is (l*w)*2
if a pentagon is 5 sided, you do 75/5 which is 15.
each side has 15 cm
You would have to use the quadratic formula because it’s not a perfect square
The area of the room is 147.5 square feet so Michelle's reasoning was incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the area of the given room, we divide the unknown shape into known shapes.
The room's shape is made of 2 rectangles.
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.
One rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 12 1/2 feet.
The other rectangle has a length of 15 - 10 = 5 feet and a width of 4 1/2 feet.
Step 2:
The area of the first rectangle = (10)(12 1/2) = (10)(12.5) = 125 square feet.
The area of the second rectangle (10)(4 1/2) = (5)(4.5) = 22.5 square feet.
The total area of the room = 125 + 22.5 = 147.5 square feet.
You are told 2/9 = 16
Let total number of batteries = x
So you now have 2/9x = 16
To find x divide both sides by 2/9
X = 72 total batteries
