This involves basic arithmetic calculations and simultaneous equations.
Adamu has 25 Cards
Let the following letters represent the number of cards each has;
A: ADAMU
F: FUNKE
S: SHEHU
K: KWAME
T: TANKO
- If adamu gives funke 5 cards, he will have as many as tanko. Thus;
A - 5 = T --- eq 1
- If funke gives adamu 4 cards, he will have as many as kwame. Thus;
A + 4 = K --- eq 2
- Funke and adamu have a total of 13 more cards than the total that kwame and tanko have. Thus;
A + F = K + T + 13 --- eq 3
- Adamu has 2 cards more than what Shehu has. Thus;
A - 2 = S --- eq 4
From online research, the Total Number of cards is 134 and not 133. Thus;
A + F + K + S + T = 134 --- eq 5
Let's put A - 5 = T and A + 4 = K in eq 3 to get;
A + F = (A + 4) + (A - 5) + 13
A + F = 2A + 12
F = 2A - A + 12
F = A + 12
Let's put A - 2 = S ; F = A + 12 ; A - 5 = T and A + 4 = K into eq 5 to get;
A + A + 12 + A + 4 + A - 2 + A - 5 = 134
Simplifying gives;
5A + 9 = 134
5A = 134 - 9
5A = 125
A = 125/5
A = 25
Adamu has 25 Cards
14 because Mark has none, Cat has 8 and Sophia has 6 so 8+6=14.
Given is a parallelogram whose base is b = 10 inches and it says height is 2 more than half-value of base i.e. h = 2 + (b ÷ 2).
So height is h = 2 + (10 ÷ 2) = 2 + 5
⇒ h = 7 inches.
We know the formula for area of parallelogram is given as follows :-
Area of parallelogram = base x height
Area of parallelogram = 10 inches x 7 inches
Area of parallelogram = 70 squared inches.
Hence, the final answer is 70 squared inches.
