Answer:

Spiders=8

Ants=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Spider(s)=8 legs

Ants(a)=6 legs

Total legs=136

Total heads=20

8s+6a=136 (1)

s+a=20 (2)

From (2)

s=20-a

Substitute 20-a into (1)

8s+6a=136

8(20-a)+6a=136

160-8a+6a=136

160-2a=136

-2a=136-160

-2a=-24

a= -24/-2

a=12

Substitute a=12 into (2)

s+a=20

s+12=20

s=20-12

s=8

Estimate the perimeter and area of the figure to the nearest whole number. Please help!!
solniwko [45]

Answer:

29 ; 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed by a square, a rectangle, and a right triangle

The perimeter of the square is 6 units

The perimeter of the rectangle is 10 units

The triangle is composed by a side of 6 units and a side of 5 units

The third side can be find with the Pythagorean theorem

\sqrt{6^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{36 + 25} = \sqrt{61} = 7,81025

The total perimeter is

6 + 10 + 5 + 7,81025 = 28,81025 = 29

Area of the square = 2^2 = 4 square units

Area of the rectangle = 6 x 3 = 18 square units

Area of the triangle =  (5 x 6)/2 = 15 square units

Total area = 4 + 18 + 15 = 37 square units
