Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

(264 in)/(5.5 in/piece) = (264/5.5) pieces = 48 pieces

_____

Division is the usual shortcut for repeated subtraction. You could subtract 5.5 from 264 until you get to zero. You would have to do 48 subtractions. It is easier to divide 264 by 5.5 to see how many times it goes.

What is the area of the trapezoid? [A = 5(61 + b2)h]
Harman [31]

Answer:

A = 105 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of the trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} [ (b₁ + b₂)h ]

where h is the height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 5 , b₁ = 24 and b₂ = 18 , then

A = \frac{1}{2} [ (24 + 18)5 ]

   = \frac{1}{2} (42 × 5)

   = \frac{1}{2} × 210

   = 105 cm²

What x and y equal to
Papessa [141]

Answer:

X = 4, Y = 3.

Explanation:

Since the length of side CK is equal to the length of WM, then you can make the equation 6y-4 = 18. then you just add 4 to each side and divide both sides by six to get 3. Same thing for the other equation. Angle (i think its an angle due to its placement) C is equal to angle M, so you can make the equation 3x + 7 = 19. Subtract seven from both sides then divide by 3 to get 4. Tell me if you have any questions :)
