Answer:

  28 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Without constraining the problem unduly, we can make the assumption that AB = 2 inches. Then the altitude from AB to D is h in ...

  Area ABD = (1/2)(AB)h

  16 in² = (1/2)(2 in)(h)

  16 in = h . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1 in

__

The altitude D to AB is the sum of the heights from D to EC (h1) and from AB to EC (h2). That is ...

  16 = h1 + h2

We also know that the height from FG to EC is 1/2 the height from D to EC, hence (1/2)h1. Likewise, the height to midsegment HI from either EC or AB is half the height from EC to AB, hence (1/2)h2. This means the total height of the quadrilateral HFGI is (1/2)h1 + (1/2)h2 = (1/2)(h1 +h2) = 8.

__

We are given that FG is 50% longer than AB, so its length will be ...

  FG = AB×(1 + .5) = (2 in)(1.5) = 3 in

Since FG is the mid-segment of triangle CDE, base EC is twice its length, or ...

  EC = 2×FG = 2(3 in) = 6 in

__

Mid-segment HI is the average of the base lengths of trapezoid ABCE, so is ...

  HI = (EC +AB)/2 = (6 + 2)/2 = 4

__

Now, we know the height and base lengths of trapezoid HFGI, so we can find its area as ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3 in + 4 in)(8 in) = 28 in²

The area of quadrilateral HFGI is 28 square inches.

_____

You can make any assumption you like about the dimension of AB, and the rest of the dimensions scale accordingly. The result is still the same.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The number of ways to select 37 people from 101 is, 5,397,234,129,638,871,133,346,507,775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the procedure to select k items from n distinct items, without replacement, is known as combinations.

The formula to compute the combinations of k items from n is given by the formula:

{n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!\cdot (n-k)!}

Compute the number of ways to select 37 people from 101 as follows:

{101\choose 37}=\frac{101!}{37!\cdot (101-37)!}

        =\frac{101!}{37!\times 64!}\\\\=\frac{101\times 100\times 99\times....64!}{37!\times 64!}\\\\=5397234129638871133346507775

Thus, the number of ways to select 37 people from 101 is, 5,397,234,129,638,871,133,346,507,775.

How Do I solve this I am quite confused
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$11,714

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.7x² - 462x + 87,944

this is a quadratic equation that opens up

the vertex will be the minimum

From the quadratic formula the x coordinate of the vertex is

x = -b/2a

x = 462/(2 * 0.7)

x = 330

Plug in

c(330) = 0.7(330²) - 462(330) + 87,944

c(330) = 11,714

$11,714
