Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

<u>To find the value of y</u>

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5)     [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

Answer: 67.725feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

A heptagon consist of 7 sides and Its area is calculated using the formula

= 1/2 × nsr

n = number of sides = 7

s = side length = 4.3

r = apothem = 4.5

Area = 1/2 × nsr

= 1/2 × 7 × 4.3 × 4.5

= 0.5 × 7 × 4.3 × 4.5

= 67.725feet²
