Answer: Number of miles he runs for 12 days is 40.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of miles Eli run on his first day = 2 miles

Next day, he increases his distance run by 0.25 miles.

Number of miles Eli run on his second day = 2+0.25 = 2.25 miles

Number of miles Eli run on his third day = 2.25+0.25 = 2.5 miles

So, it becomes an arithmetic progression:

2,2.25,2.5,....

Number of days he runs for = 12 days

So, Total number of miles he runs over the course of 12 days is given by

S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\\S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}(2\times 2+(12-1)0.25)\\\\S_{12}=6(4+11\times 0.25)\\\\S_{12}=6(6.75)\\\\S_{12}=40.5\ miles

Hence, Number of miles he runs for 12 days is 40.5 miles.

The parallelogram shown below has an area of ​​135 units2 Find the missing base.
Nostrana [21]
<h3>Answer:  9</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.

The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135

Therefore, 15*b = 135

Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b

15b = 135

15b/15 = 135/15

b = 9

So the base is 9

Check:

area = base*height = 9*15 = 135

so the answer is confirmed

side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.
