Answer: of the mural is sky blue.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the full portion of mural.
Since, of mural is painted in shades of blue.
Therefore, the blue portion=
Also, Three eighths of the blue area is sky blue.
Therefore, the portion of the mural is sky blue=
The portion of the mural is sky blue=
Simplify, by dividing numerator and denominator by 4, we get
The portion of the mural is sky blue=
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No direction or other information about the desired parallelogram is given here, so we drew one arbitrarily. Likewise for the segment cutting it in half. It is convenient to have the bases of the trapezoids be the sides of the parallelogram that are 5 units apart.
The area of one trapezoid is ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3+5)·5 = 20 . . . . square units
The sum of the trapezoid base lengths is necessarily the length of the base of the parallelogram, so the area of the trapezoid is necessarily 1/2 the area of the parallelogram. (The area is necessarily half the area of the parallelogram also because the problem has us divide the parallelogram into two identical parts.)
