To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1- You have that the equation of the line is:
Where is the slope and
is the y-intercept.
2- Based on the information given in the problem, the lines and
are parallel, which means that both have the same slope. Therefore, you can calculate the slope of
:
3- Use the coordinates of the point to calculate the y-intercept:
4. Solve for :
5. The equation of the line is:
The answer is:
Answer:
Area = 370 m²
Cost to paint = £105
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the wall of a cinema hall = Area of a trapezoid (1)+ Area of a rectangle (2) + Area of a trapezoid (3)
Area of a trapezoid =
where and
are the parallel sides and h is the distance between these sides.
Area of trapezoid (1) =
= 69 m²
Area of the rectangle (2) = Length × Width
= 12 × 15
= 180 m²
Area of the trapezoid (3) =
= 121 m²
Now area of the wall = 69 + 180 + 121
= 370 m²
One tin covers the area = 25 m²
Number of tins required to paint the wall =
=
= 14.8
Therefore, number of tins to be purchased = 15
Cost to paint the complete wall = 15 × £7
= £105
