Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well there are 500 of you going to se a regular movie
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
so old triangle we have 1/2 x b x h = 48
new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
so we would get:
1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area
rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area
divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2
so new area = 3/2 x old area
new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches
Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used
4^2 + b^2 = 12^2
16 + b^2 = 144
B^2 = 144-16
B^2 = 128
B= 11.3
