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

Use the distributive property to solve the equation 2(m + 2) = 22. Describe what it means to distribute the 2 to each term insid

Mumz [18]

Answer:

m = 9

It means that you are multiplying each of the values inside the parentheses by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(m + 2) = 22

2m + 4 = 22

2m + 4 - 4 = 22 - 4

2m = 18 -Divide both sides by 2

m = 9

Question 7 A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once. The number rolled will be recorded as the outcome.

QveST [7]

Answer:

1) $S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

2) $O=\{1,3,5\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once. The number rolled will be recorded as the outcome.

To find : Give the sample space describing all possible outcomes. Then give all of the outcomes for the event of rolling an odd number. If there is more than one element in the set, separate them with commas ?

Solution :

A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once.

The sample space describing all possible outcomes is given by

$S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

All of the outcomes for the event of rolling an odd number is given by

$O=\{1,3,5\}$
