Answer:

66 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelograms have 2 pair of parallel sides that are congruent to each other.

In parallelogram ABCD, we can say:

AB = DC

and

BC = AD

AB and DC are given, and they are equal. So we can say:

AB = DC

6x - 2 = 3x + 13

Now we can solve for x:

6x - 2 = 3x + 13

6x - 3x = 13 + 2

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

So,

AB = 6x - 2

AB = 6(5) - 2 = 28

So, DC = 28

We are also given AD = 5, so BC = 5 as well [since AD = BC]

Now, we know the length of all 4 sides.

The perimeter is the sum of all 4 sides. Hence,

Perimeter = 28 + 28 + 5 + 5 = 66 feet

Can you help? I’m kinda confused...

A mean is an average of a total. If you add all the pets together and divide by the number of people, you get the mean. So 1 +3 + 2 + 4 + 0 = 10

You have 10 pets in total.

There are 5 people.

Mean = 10 pets / 5 people = 2 pets per person. that's the mean or average that everyone has.

For this case we have:

Question 1:

According to Heron's formula, the area of a triangle is given by:

$A=\sqrt{(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))}$

Where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle and s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle given by:

$s=\frac{(a+b+c)}{2}$

Let:

$a = 20mm\\b = 23mm\\c = 27mm$

We have s:

$s=\frac{(20+23+27)}{2}\\s=\frac{70}{2}\\s=35$

Substituting in the formula of the area:

$A=\sqrt{(35(35-20)(35-23)(35-27))}\\A=\sqrt{(35(15)(12)(8))}\\A=\sqrt{(50400)}\\A=224.5mm^2$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $A = 224.5mm ^ 2$

Answer:

$A = 224.5mm ^ 2$

Question 2:

The area of a traingule can be expressed as:

$A=\frac{(b*h)}{2}$

Where:

b: Base of the triangle

h: Triangle height

Let:

$b = 20m\\h = 18m$

Substituting the values in the expression we have:

$A=\frac{(20*18)}{2}\\A=\frac{360}{2}\\A=180m^2$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $A = 180m ^ 2$

Answer:

$A = 180m ^ 2$

Question 3:

It is known that the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A = l * w$

Where:

l: It is the length of the rectangle

w: It is the width of the rectangle

So:

$l = 9 feet\\w = 8 feet$

Substituting:

$A = (9 * 8) feet ^ 2\\A = 72 feet ^ 2$

Thus, the area of Laura's carpet is given by $A = 72 feet ^ 2$

Answer:

$A = 72 feet ^ 2$

Question 4:

We must take out the area of the outer wall, given by a rectangle, then:

$A = l * a$

Where:

l: It is the length of the rectangle

a: It is the height of the rectangle

We have:

$l = 48 feet\\a = 9 feet$

Substituting in the formula we have:

$A = (48 * 9) feet ^ 2\\A = 432ft ^ 2$

Thus, the area of the exterior wall is given by: $A = 432 feet ^ 2$

$432ft ^ 2> 400ft ^ 2$

So, a can of paint is not enough to cover the exterior wall.

Answer:

A can of paint is not enough to cover the exterior wall.

Question 5:

A regular hexagon is formed by 6 equal triangles. The area of the hexagon is given by:

$A=\frac{(perimeter* apothem)}{2}$

Where the perimeter is given by the sum of the sides, that is:

$perimeter = (10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10) cm\\perimeter = 60cm$

And the apothem is the height of each of the triangles that make up the hexagon, that is:

$apothem = 5cm$

Substituting in the formula:

$A=\frac{(60*5)}{2}\\A=\frac{300}{2}\\A=150cm^2$

Thus, the area of the hexagon is $A = 150cm ^ 2$

Answer:

$A = 150cm ^ 2$
