16 because the neg next to the subtraction sign becomes positive then you’re just adding 14+2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you don't consider how the wood might be cut, or how the tray might be assembled, you can look only at the area requirements.
A tray that is 10.5 inches square will have an area of ...
(10.5 in)^2 = 110.25 in^2
That base will have a perimeter that is 4×10.5 in = 42 in. If the perimeter piece(s) are 2 inches high, the area of the sides of the tray will be ...
(42 in)(2 in) = 84 in^2
Then the total area of wood required for the proposed tray is ...
110.25 in^2 +84 in^2 = 194.25 in^2
__
The area of the wood Stephan has is ...
A = LW = (18 in)(12 in) = 216 in^2 . . . . . . more than required
__
Stephan <u>does</u> have enough wood to make the tray, because he has <u>216</u> square inches, which is <u>more</u> than he needs to make the tray, <u>194.25</u> square inches.
Multiply the wieghts by the cost per pound then add them . this = $14
3.75k + 2.25p = 14
