Answer:

84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of the wall.

The wall is 8 ft high and  16 ft wide

A = LW

A = (16)(8)

A = 128 ft²

Step 2: Find the area of the window, fireplace, and mirror.

Window: The window measures 18 in wide  and 14 ft high

18 in = 1.5 ft

A = LW

A = (14)(1.5)

A = 21 ft²

Fireplace: The fireplace is 5 ft wide and 3 ft high

A = LW

A = (3)(5)

A = 15 ft²

Mirror: The mirror above the fireplace is 4 ft wide and 2 ft high

A = LW

A = (2)(4)

A = 8 ft²

Step 3: Add all the areas of the three objects (window, fireplace, and mirror)

A = 21 + 15 + 8

A = 36 + 8

A = 44 ft²

Step 4: Subtract the total area of the objects from the area of the wall.

A = 128 ft² - 44 ft²

A = 84 ft²

84 sq. ft of the wall has to be covered with paint or wallpaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width

Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²

Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)

Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

  • Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper

Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)

                              = 128 - 44

                              = 84 ft²

How are the real solutions of a quadratic equation related to the graph of the quadratic function?
Anika [276]
The solutions you get when you solve the formula are the corresponding y coordinates to your x value. So say a point on your graph is (2,3). The first number is x and the second is y. (x,y). The number you plug into your function is x,or in this case: 2. The solution to the equation when the x value is plugged in is y, or 3. Therefore, giving you a point on your graph.

Use substitution to solve the system equation.<br><br><br> n=3m-11<br><br> 2m+3n=0
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

m = 3, n = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n = 3m - 11 in the second equation:

2m + 3(3m - 11) = 0

2m + 9m - 33 = 0

11m = 33

m = 3.

Substitute for m in n = 3m-11:

n = 3(3) - 11

n = -2.
