Answer:

B: 24ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = (base x height)/2

Step 1: form an equation

a = (12ft x 4ft)/2

Step 2: solve equation

a = 48ft^2 / 2

a = 24ft^2

*the base is the measurement for the bottom of a triangle while height is the measurement of the length from the bottom to the top of a triangle*

Answer:12x4=48 48divided by 2 is 24 so your answer is 24ft

Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. So multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles.

You go shopping at a local department store with your friend and cousin. You buy one pair of jeans, four pairs of shorts, and tw

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= cost per pair of jeans

y = Cost per pair of shorts

z= cost per shirt.

For you, total cost = x+4y+2z= 84

For your friend, total cost = 2x+y+3z=76

For cousin, total cost = x+2y+z= 52

Required system:

$x+4y+2z=84\ (i)\\ 2x+y+3z=76\ (ii)\\ x+2y+z=52\ (iii)$

from (i), $x=84-4y-2z$ (*)

put this in (ii) and (iii) we get

$2\left(84-4y-2z\right)+y+3z=76\\\Rightarrow\ -7y-z+168=76\ (iv)\\\\ 84-4y-2z+2y+z=52\\\Rightarrow\ -2y-z+84=52 \ (v)$

from (iv), $y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ (vi)$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ \text{in}\ (v)$

$-2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z+84=52\\\\\Rightarrow\ -2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -\frac{5z}{7}-\frac{184}{7}=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z-184=-224\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=8$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}z=8\text{ in (vi)}$

$y=-\frac{8-92}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow \ y=12$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}z=8,\:y=12\text{ in (*)}$

$x=84-4\cdot \:12-2\cdot \:8\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 20$

Hence, x= 20, y= 12 , z=8

So, Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8

Joy wants to buy strawberries and raspberries to bring to a party. Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75

zimovet [89]

Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (2, –0.5) and has a slope of 3?

Kitty [74]

A slope of 3 means the gradient is 3 so we get y=3x+c as derived from the linear formula. we then sub in x=2 and y=-0.5. this gives us c=-6.5.

The equation would be y=3x-6.5

I think this is right.
