The area of a rectangle is length x width. We can find the 3 areas of the rectangles with this formula:
20 x 5 = 100
100 yd²
15 x (20-14) = 90
90 yd²
14 x 10 = 140
140 yd²
The area of a trapezoid is 1/2(b1+b2)h
In this problem:
b1=25-15-5
b1=5
b2=10
h=20-14
h=6
We can then plug this into the formula:
A = 1/2(5+10)(6)
A = 1/2(15)(6)
A = 45 yd²
We can then get the area of the whole polygon by adding up the areas of the three rectangles and trapezoid:
A = 100+90+140 + 45
A = 375 yd²
Answer:
Susan has suggested a correct method to calculate the amount of money
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we must check what each person is calculating. First, we consider Susan's method. She has suggested that we multiply the cost per soda, that is dollars/soda by the number of sodas required, we get the total cost.
Assuming that 18 sodas are required and each costs $0.20, the total cost according to Susan is $3.60.
John suggests we divide the cost of a 12 pack of soda by the number of sodas required. Considering a 12 pack of soda costs $12 and the same amount of sodas, 18, are required, we get that each soda costs $0.66.
Looking at these answers, we see that Susan has suggested a correct method to calculate the amount of money needed to buy a number of sodas. John has suggested the amount each person would have to contribute if everyone at the party was trying to buy a 12-pack of soda; regardless of whether more or less than a 12-pack is required.
I believe the answer is A.
hope I helped
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the least common denominator (LCD) to all the denominators of the fractions present in the equation. These denominators are (writing them in their prime factor form to make our calculations easier):
Therefore, we need to include a factor of 3, and two factors of 2 (
) in our least common denominator, so this LCD will be a perfectly divided by all three given denominators, therefore eliminating all fractions in the equation.
Our LCD is =
