I'd say what you would do is:
You can either
1. Add 15 and 18 together and then divide by 2
OR
2. Since there is a 3 number difference between 15 an 18, just add 3 to 18
Answer:
x = 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
A =
h (a + b)
where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases
Here A = 60, h = 8, a = 9 and b = x , thus
× 8 × (9 + x) = 60, that is
4(9 + x) = 60 ( divide both sides by 4 )
9 + x = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = 6 m
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4 3/4 feet = 19/4 feet
2 2/5 feet=12/5 feet.
multiplying them together yields


Part 2:
11.4 ft^2 - 4 1/2 ft^2=
11.4-4.5=6.9 ft^2 = 69/10 ft^2 left after you subtract the decoration in the middle
Now you're trying to find now many rectangular cutouts (that each are 3/8 ft^2) will fit in the remaining space.
You do that by dividing the remaining space left by 3/8:

since you have to have a whole number of cutouts, you round 92/5 down to 90/5, which is
18 cutouts
75 minutes which is 1 hour and 15 minutes (:
