1.2 inches of snow fell per hour, 7.2/4=1.2
Answer:
6.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.
Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.
To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:

Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.
Now the total area can be calculated:
Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total
Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft
Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared
Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.
Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty
Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared
Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared
Answer:
75% bigger
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second be y.
So:

And:
-----30% less than x
Substitute

Make x the subject


So, the average is:




Rewrite as:

Express as percentage

This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number
This is the formula you would use to calculate how many tiles you would need.
# of tiles you need = Total square footage ÷ square footage of each tile
Total square footage: 69x69 = 4761 square feet
Square footage of each tile = 2x2 = 4 square feet
# of tiles you need = 4761 ÷ 4 = 1190.25
You will need 1190.25 tiles.
