Answer:
We call:
T = Tom's paiting rate
G = George's paiting rate
M = Mario's paiting rate
As the first statement says that they can work together, then:
T + G + M = Painting rate working together, that is the surface area they paint per hour.
Since the problem says that they last four hours painting a
room, then we need to multiply the amount of hours times the painting rate that is equal the surface area of the room, so:
4(T + G + M) = 600
Applying a similar reasoning, the George and Mario's painting rate is:
0 + G + M
Note that 0 implies that Tom didn't work in this case.
As they last eight hours painting the room, then:
8(0 + G + M) = 600
The same reasoning is applied to Tom and George working together. In this case 0 implies that Mario didn't work, so:
6(T + G + 0) = 600
We have a system of linear equations in three variables T, G, M:
<span>4(T+G+M)=600
8(0+G+M)=600
6(T+G+0)=600
</span>
Solving:
(1) T + G + M = 150
(2) G + M = 75
(3) T + G = 100
Substitute (3) in (1):
100 + M = 150 ∴ M = 50
Replace M in (2):
G + 50 = 75 ∴ G = 25
Substitute G in (3)
T + 25 = 100 ∴ T = 75
Then, the painting rates are:
Tom = 75
George = 25
Mario = 50

<span>Painted Area = Painting Rate×Time, so:

Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
area of trapezoid is given by formula
Area = h
where a is one base, b is another base and h is height
In given case, we have
a= 7+7+3 = 17
b= 3
h= 8
Substituting the values
Area= x 8
= x 8
= 10 x 8
= 80
