A≈173.82cm² that's the answer.
Answer: Statements 1 and 2 shows that the coach blowing the whistle happened first.
Step-by-step explanation: The coach blowing the whistle as the first event can be seen only from statements 1 and 2 only.
From statement 1, "the referee blew the whistle" was followed by "the team ran onto the field."
From statement 2, "before the team ran onto the field" shows clearly that one event took place "BEFORE" the one being reported and the one that occurred before this one was "the referee blew the whistle."
Statement 3 which is "the referee blew the whistle, BUT..." indicates that the whistle was meant to prevent the team from from running onto the field. So if the referee blew the whistle, but the team ran onto the field, it means the whistle blowing was not supposed to make them run onto the field.
Statement 4, which states that "the referee blew the whistle BECAUSE the team ran onto the field" indicates that, the reason for blowing the whistle was because the team ran onto the field which clearly shows that the team ran onto the field first before the referee blew the whistle.
Statement 5, "WHILE the team ran onto the field..." clearly shows that both events took place at the same moment, and so the referee blowing the whistle could not have occurred first.
The only things you can factor out of here is a 3 so you are left with:
3(y-6)
