Question

Evan is making a table that will be created in the shape of the figure below. The table top is a triangle attached to a rectangle. To purchase the right amount of paint, he needs to know the area of the table top. He can only spend $10 on paint, which is enough to cover 150 ft2 of surface area. What is the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build?
x = __________________ ft

Answer 1

The triangle is 12 feet squared So we take 12 away from 150 leaving us with 138 Now 138.2 divided by 6 is 23.03 decuring Ans is 23.03
