Answer:

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

A 13ft board is to be cut into three pieces consisting of two equal length ones. The third one is 9in shorter than each of the other two.

Let us first convert the length of the board to inches:

1 ft = 12 inches

13 ft = 12 * 13 = 156 inches

Let the length of each of the other two pieces be x.

Therefore, the length of the third piece is (x - 9)

Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the three pieces is equal to 156 inches. This means that:

x + x + (x - 9) = 156

x + x + x - 9 = 156

=> 3x = 156 + 9

3x = 165

x = 165 / 3 = 55 inches

Each of the first two pieces are 55 inches long.

The length of the third piece will be:

55 - 9 = 46 inches

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do the obvious things first.

Right rectangle

w = 11

L = 17

Formula

Area = L * W

Area = 11 * 17

Area =                                                187

Left rectangle

W = 8

L = 11

Area = 8 * 11=                                      88

Middle Rectangle

W = 11

L = 15

Area = 11 * 15                                    165

Now we come to the triangles. It's not obvious what to do with them. You have to infer that one of the lets is 8 and the other is 15. You get the 8 from the width of the left rectangle (see above.)

There are 2 triangles

Area = 2 * 1/2 * l1 * l2

Leg 1 = 8

Leg2 = 15

Area = 2 * 1/2 (8 * 15)

Area =               <u>                            120 </u>

Total  = 120 + 165 + 88 + 187 =    560

Unless you have an  E answer that is 560, my answer does not agree with any of the given answers. I would suggest that you ask your teacher how it is done. My method is correct.
