Answer:

300 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you have to consider the geometric shapes you could use in order to represent the mainsail. A sail is typically represented in the way of a rhombus, which makes sense considering they are telling you that you have to decompose the shape into rectangles and triangles.

Such triangle can have the following dimensions:

Triangle (Dimensions)

Base = 4ft

Height = 15ft

On the other hand, the rectangle can have the following dimensions:

Rectangle (Dimensions)

15 ft x 20ft

To get the area of the mainsail, you need to add up the sum of the areas of each individual part.

Obtaining each area:

Rectangle: 15x20 = 300ft²

Triangle #1: 1/2(4*5) = 30ft²

Triangle #2: 1/2(4*5) = 30ft²

If my answer helped you, I would greatly appreciate you rating it the Brainliest Answer. Thank you!

How do you rewrite 6/9 in two different ways
Naya [18.7K]

We have to represent the fraction \frac{6}{9} in two different ways.

Let us multiply the numerator and denominator of the given fraction by '2'.

Therefore, \frac{6}{9} = \frac{6 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = \frac{12}{18}

Therefore, \frac{12}{18} is the first way to represent the given fraction.

Now, Let us multiply the numerator and denominator of the given fraction by '3'.

Therefore, \frac{6}{9} = \frac{6 \times 3}{9 \times 3} = \frac{18}{27}

Therefore, \frac{18}{27} is the second way to represent the given fraction.

Therefore,  \frac{12}{18} and  \frac{18}{27} are the different ways to represent the fraction \frac{6}{9}.

dexar [7]
There is 6 regular packs and 6 value packs so add those (6+6=12). Divide 12 by 2 (because there's 2 socks in a pair) and get 6. Then divide 402 by 6 and get 67 pairs. Do the same for the second location.
