The area of the room is 147.5 square feet so Michelle's reasoning was incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the area of the given room, we divide the unknown shape into known shapes.
The room's shape is made of 2 rectangles.
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.
One rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 12 1/2 feet.
The other rectangle has a length of 15 - 10 = 5 feet and a width of 4 1/2 feet.
Step 2:
The area of the first rectangle = (10)(12 1/2) = (10)(12.5) = 125 square feet.
The area of the second rectangle (10)(4 1/2) = (5)(4.5) = 22.5 square feet.
The total area of the room = 125 + 22.5 = 147.5 square feet.
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 - (1/8÷3/4)
=5/6 - (1/8 × 4/3)
=5/6 - ( 1/6)
=4/6
=2/3
Point slope form equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
in this case
y - 3 = 1.5(x - 4)
Answer
Point slope form equation:
y - 3 = 1.5(x - 4)
Answer:
<em>Choose the first alternative</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probabilities</u>
The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions 
and the total number of possible choices 
, i.e.
There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total
We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.
To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5
The total number of possible choices is
The probability is then
Choose the first alternative
