Answer:
x = 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Total area of the given polygon = Area of triangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of triangle 3
Area of triangle 1 = Area of triangle 3 = 
= 
= 4x square feet
Area of rectangle 2 = Length × Width
= 16 × 8
= 128 square feet
Total area of the given polygon = 4x + 128 + 4x
176 = 8x + 128
8x = 176 - 128
x =
x = 6 ft
System of Equations
Let:
x = number of people that can be seated at a table
y = number of people that can be seated at a booth
The first plan consists of 23 tables and 10 booths and then 228 people could be seated, thus:
23x + 10y = 228
The second plan consists of 12 tables and 12 booths and that way 180 people could be seated, thus:
12x + 12y = 180
The method of elimination requires equating the coefficients of one variable and eliminating it by adding the equations.
Multiply the first equation by 12:
276x + 120y = 2736
Multiply the second equation by -23:
-276x - 276y = -4140
Add the last two equations (the variable x cancels out):
120y - 276y = 2736 - 4140
Simplifying:
-156y = -1404
Dividing by -156:
y = -1404/(-156)
y = 9
Substitute this value in the first equation:
23x + 10(9) = 228
Operate:
23x + 90 = 228
Subtract 90:
23x = 138
Divide by 23:
x = 138/23
x = 6
Every table can seat 6 people, and every booth can seat 9 people
Answer:
125 traffic cones
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the total number of meters, we can set up a proportion to find based on the ration of cm to m:
, where 'x' is the number of meters
cross-multiply: x = 25(50) or x = 1250 m
Since there is a cone every 10 m, we can divide the total number of meters by 10:
1250/10 = 125 cones
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
A = bh/2
A= 8 x 12 / 2
A= 96 / 2
A = 48
Change of y / over change of x
Go over 4, up 45
B is your correct answer
Hope this helps!
