Answer:

It can be decomposed into the following simplest shapes:

Two Rectangles and one Triangle.

The area is 242\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the picture attached that it can be decomposed into the following simplest shapes:

Two Rectangles.

One Triangle.

The area of the a rectangle can be found with:

A=lw

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

You can identify in the picture that:

l_A=14\ ft\\w_A=13\ ft-7\ ft=6\ ft\\\\l_B=20\ ft\\w_B=7\ ft

Substituing values, you get that the areas of the rectangles A and B are:

A_A=(14\ ft)(6\ ft)=84\ ft^2\\\\\\A_B=(20\ ft)(7\ ft)=140\ ft^2

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

A=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

In this case:

b=20\ ft-14\ ft=6\ ft\\\\h=6\ ft

Then, its area is:

A_C=\frac{(6\ ft)(6\ ft)}{2}= 18\ ft^2

Then, the total area of carpet that Valerie needs for her project is:

A_t=A_A+A_B+A_C\\\\A_T=84\ ft^2+140\ ft^2+18\ ft^2\\\\AT=242\ ft^2

7/8 - 1/4 - 1/2= ??
madreJ [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this up into pieces, first we do, 7/8 - 1/4, find the least common denominator which is 8, so the equation will be 7/8 - 2/8, which we can now subtract and will give us, 5/8, now that we have done that, we can do 5/8 - 1/2. Since we know that half of 8 (our denominator) is 4. Then the equation would be 5/8 - 4/8, which brings us to 1/8 as our final answer.

Cheers!
