Multiple both ratios by a least common denominator
the least common denominator for both is 15
multiply the first ratio by 3/3
9/15=9/15
both are equal because when multiplying by the least common denominator you get the same answer
Answer: 4 - 5 = 4 + (-5) = -1
Step-by-step explanation: You have to make the 5 into a negative number using parenthesis and do the math.
Answer:
540 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the trapezoid = h/2 (10 + 18) = 14h.
By Pythagoras the height h = √(5^2 - 4^2) = 3.
So the area of the 2 trapezoidal bases = 2 * 14*3
= 84 ft^2.
Now we calculate the area of the four lateral rectangular sides:
= 10*12 + 18*12 + 2*5*12
= 456 ft^2.
Total area = 456 + 54
= 540 ft^2.
