Luckily for us, the diagram already divided this figure into separate polygons. What I will be explaining is basically the addition of the areas of all the separate polygons. The area of the uppermost triangle is:

1/2 x b x h
= 1/2 x 20 x 8
(the base is 20, because in a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent)
=10 x 8
= 80 in. squared

The next polygon we will be taking the area of is the parallelogram with the base length of 20 and the height of 16.

Area = b x h
= 20 x 16
= 320 in. squared

Now all we have left to do is add the two areas to obtain the total area.

Total Area = 320 + 80 = 400 in. squared

Julio bought a total of 20 medium and large pumpkins. If he spent $53 and bought 6 more large pumpkins as medium pumpkins, how m

Tatiana [17]

20 medium and large pumpkins

m ... number of medium pumpkins
l ... number of large pumpkins

20 = m + l
20 = m + (m + 6)
20 = 2 * m + 6
2 * m = 20 - 6
2 * m = 14
m = 7 medium pumpkins

l = 20 - 7 = 13 large pumpkins

Result: Julio bought 13 large pumpkins.
