Area of each side triangle is 1/2*8*15 = 60. There are 5 of them so the triangles have surface area 300. the pentagon's area 1/2*apothegm*sidelength*sides = 1/2*5.5*8*5 = 110. The total area is therefore 300+110 = 410
If there are 150 total instruments in said Orchestra, we'll need to divide that number in half.
75, simple enough. Now we know that half of 150 is 75.
Start by writing your problem like this: 150= 75w+37.5b
That equation is all I can think of, because 37.5 is half of 75, which means that's roughly the number you're looking for. Sorry if this doesn't help much<span />
