Answer:

Same gets £30 and Beth gets £24

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em><u>Ratios</u></em></h2>

<em>the ratio of sam to beth is 5 : 4</em>

<em />

<h2><u>Finding the amount sam gets</u></h2>

add 5 + 4 = 9 . this value will be the denominator

= 5/9 * 54

= £ 30

<u>Sam will get £ 30</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>Finding the amount Beth will get </u></h2>

add 4 + 5 = 9 . this value will be the denominator

<em>Note :</em> when using ratios the denominators  will be the same. (eg the                    denominator of 9 is used for both Sam and Beth.)  

= 4/9 * 54

= £ 24

<u>Beth will receive £ 24</u>

<u></u>

<h3><u>hence Sam gets £30 while Beth gets £24</u></h3>

Estimate the area of Alberta in square miles. Show your reasoning
ella [17]

Answer:  About 278,250\ mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

Notice in the first picture that Alberta has a complex shape.

You can calculate the area of a complex shape by decomposing it into polygons whose areas can be calculated easily.

Observe the second picture. Notice that it can be descompose into two polygons: A trapezoid and a rectangle.

The area of the trapezoid  can be calcualted with the formula:

A_t=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where "h" is the height, "B" is the long base and "b" is short base.

And the area of the rectangle can be found with the formula:

 A_r=lw

Wkere "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, the apprximate area of Alberta is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)+lw

Substituting vallues, you get:

A=(\frac{(410\ mi-180\ mi)}{2})(760\ mi+470\ mi)+(180\ mi)(760\ im)\\\\A=141,450\ mi^2+136,800\ mi^2\\\\A=278,250\ mi^2

Therefore, the area of of Alberta is about 278,250\ mi^2.
