-5+-12 is -17
For lack of a better metaphor, it's like digging a pit deeper than it already is.
N = nickels and q = quarters
0.05n + 0.25q = 1.90
n = 2q + 3
0.05(2q + 3) + 0.25q = 1.90
0.10q + 0.15 + 0.25q = 1.90
0.10q + 0.25q = 1.90 - 0.15
0.35q = 1.75
q = 1.75/0.35
q = 5 ......there are 5 quarters
n = 2q + 3
n = 2(5) + 3
n = 10 + 3
n = 13 <=== there are 13 nickels
Let x represent the smaller angle. Then the larger one is 20+4x. Since they are complementary, their sum is 90. (All measures are degrees.)
90 = x + (20+4x)
90 = 5x +20
70 = 5x
14 = x
The smaller angle is 14°.
The larger angle is 76°.
x - y = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 130
----------------
x^2 - y^2 = 256
+(x^2 + y^2 = 130)
2x^2 = 386
x^2 = 193
x = <span>13.892 (3DP)
----
</span>x - y = 16
13.892 - y = 16
-y = 2.108
y = -2.108
The numbers are: 13.892 and -2.108
Area of triangle = 1/2 (6)(5) = 15
Area of semicircle = 1/2(3.14)(3^2) = 14.13
Area of figure = 15 + 14.13 = 29.13
Answer
29.13 square units
