⓵ To calculate the area of a parallelogram, the formula is base times height, just like the formula for the area of a rectangle! Why? Because if you look closely, every parallelogram can be made into a rectangle just by moving one of the triangle parts of it.

⓶ Now that we know that the formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram is :
A = b × h

You need to find the numbers to replace the base and the height in the formula!

We already know that the height is : 12 in.

So we are left with a formula looking like this :

A = b × 12 in.

⓷ Now we need to find the base! To do so, you need to add the height of the rectangle (which is 8 in.) to the height of one of the triangle (which is 16 in.) :

8 in. + 16 in. = b

↓

8 in. + 16 in. = 24 in.

↓

24 in. = b

So we are left with a formula looking like this:

A = 24 in. × 12 in.

⓸ All there’s left to do now, is calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula :

A = 24 in. × 12 in.

↓

24 in. × 12 in. = 288 in.²

↓

A = 288 in.²

So your final answer is : the area of this parallelogram is ↠ 288 in.²

I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

No is divisible by 7 if n is divided by 2 3 4 5 the remainder is 1 what is the smallest value that n could b
kvv77 [185]

Answer: 301

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, The LCM of numbers given numbers 2 ,3,  4 and 5 is 60.

Thus, the number that gives 1 as reminder and is the multiple of 7 is  60 n + 1

Where n is any positive integer,

Since, For n = 5,

The number is, 60\times 5 + 1 = 300 + 1 = 301

Which is divisible by 7.

Thus, the required number is 301.

Note : For n = 1, 2 3 and 4, numbers are 61, 121, 181 and 241

But they are not the multiple of 7.

finlep [7]

Answer:

x+x+30 is the required expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

You watch x minutes of television on Monday

An since, the same amount on Wednesday that means x minutes on Wednesday

And 30 minutes on Friday

Since,  we have to tell the expression that represents the total amount in the given situation that means

x+x+30 is the required expression.

A drama club earns $1040 from a production. It sells a total of 64 adult tickets and 132 student tickets. An adult ticket costs
Mashutka [201]
The system of equations would be:

64x+132y = 1040
x = 2y

We multiply the number of adult tickets, 64, by the cost of the adult tickets, x.   We multiply the number of student tickets, 132, by the cost of the student tickets, y.  Together these add up to $1040.

We know that the cost of an adult ticket is twice as much as a student ticket, so x = 2y.

The weekly cost of food for a family of four using the moderate cost plan in the United States increased at a relatively constan
Mila [183]

Answer:

Part a) The weekly cost of food for a family of four in 1997 was $153.09

Part b) y=4.83x+153.09

Part c) \$215.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a. What was the weekly cost of food for a family of four in 1997?

Let

y ---->the weekly cost of food for a family of four

x ---> the number of years since 1997

we know that

The linear equation in point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

In this problem we have a linear function between variable x and variable y

In 2004, the weekly cost of food for a family of four was $186.90

so

In the year 2004

The value of x is equal to

x=2004-1997=7 years

we have

point\ (7,186.90)

m=\$4.83\ per\ year

substitute

y-186.90=4.83(x-7) ----> equation in point slope form

Remember that the year 1997 is when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

y-186.90=4.83(0-7)

solve for y

y=4.83(-7)+186.90

y=153.09 -----> y-intercept or initial value

therefore

The weekly cost of food for a family of four in 1997 was $153.09

Part b. Write an equation that gives the weekly cost of food for a family of four as a function of the number of years since 1997

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept or initial value

we have

m=\$4.83\ per\ year

b=\$153.09 ----> initial value in 1997

substitute

y=4.83x+153.09

Part c. Find the weekly cost of food for a family of four in 2010 assuming the same rate of increase

In the year 2010

x=2010-1997=13 years

substitute in the linear equation

y=4.83(13)+153.09=215.88
