Answer:
249 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem becomes easier if we subdivide the figure, find the areas of the resulting figures and then sum them up.
Draw a vertical line straight down from the edge marked "4 cm" towards the edge marked "18 cm." The resulting rectangle on the left is 15.5 cm long and (18 - 7.5) cm wide, or 15.5 by 10.5 cm. Its area is 162.75 cm^2.
Next, find the area of the rectangle on the right of the line we drew. Its width is 7.5 cm and its height (15.5 - 4) cm, resulting in an area of 86.25 cm^2.
Last, add together these two subareas: combine 86.25 cm^2 and 162.75 cm^2. The total area of the composite figure is then 249 cm^2 (answer).
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you would like to solve the equation - 2/5 * x + 6 = 8, you can do this using the following steps:
- 2/5 * x + 6 = 8
- 2/5 * x = 8 - 6
- 2/5 * x = 2 /*(-5/2)
x = 2 * (- 5/2)
x = - 5
The correct result would be -5.
Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
