Step 1
find the a<span>rea of the first cross section

area1=b1*h/2
b1=8 m
h=10 m
area1=6*10/2------> 30 m</span>²

step 2
find the area of the second cross section

area 2=b2*h/2
b2=12 m
h=10 m
area1=12*10/2------> 60 m²

step 3
 find <span>the difference in the areas of the cross sections
</span>difference=60-30------> 30 m²

the answer is
30 m²

What is the solution to this equation?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

B. a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis.

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a

Add -12 and 1.

3a - 11 = 9 - a

Add a to both sides.

4a - 11 = 9

Add 11 to both sides.

4a = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 5.

Proof:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Substitute variable.

3(5 - 4) + 1 = 9 - 5

Subtract inside parenthesis.

3(1) + 1 = 9 - 5

Multiply 3 and 1.

3 + 1 = 9 - 5

Add 3 and 1.

4 = 9 - 5

Subtract 5 from 9.

4 = 4.

What is the sum of (1-5q)+2(2.5q+8)
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

... 1 - 5q +2·2.5q +2·8

... = 1 -5q +5q +16 . . . . . carry out the multiplication

... = q(-5+5) +(1 +16) . . . . group like terms

... = q·0 +17 . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

... = 17
