The company picnic cost $ 1300 for 80 employees
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic
Let "c" be the company picnic cost
Let "n" be the number of employees attending the picnic
Therefore,
Where "k" is the constant of proportionality
c = kn ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>Given that company picnic costs $487.50 for 30 employees</u></em>
Therefore substitute c = 487.50 and n = 30
<em><u>How much does a company picnic cost for 80 employees?</u></em>
Substitute n = 80 and k = 16.25 in eqn 1
Thus $ 1300 is the cost for 80 employees
If the angle in B is 45º, that means the angle in A is also going to be 45º, considering it's a right triangle, so AC and BC are they have the same length.
Then using Pythagoras, you'll get that
equals 
.
Now, you know that AC=BC and that AB=24.
So you'll get
. You do the square root in both sides and you get that 2AC=24 and AC=12.
Now that you know that both AC and BC equal 12, you can find the area by just multiplying them and then diving them by 2. (The formula for the area of a triangle is half base multiplied by height, and in a right triangle, if a cathetus is the base, the other cathetus<span> will be the height)
And so the area is equal to 72.</span>
