Answer: 76 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 side length +base length

40 = 2s +12

Solving for s:

40-12 =2s

28 =2s

28/2=s

14ft =side

Since the line which bisects and isosceles triangles is at a right angle to the base we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height (see attachment)  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case 14) and a and b are the other sides. (Base divided by 2 is one side, the other side is the height)

Replacing with the values given:  

14^2= 6^2 + x^2

196 = 36 + x^2

196-36 = x^2

160 = x^2

√160 = x

x = 12.64 (height)

Area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 x base x height  

A = 1/2 x 12 x 12.64 = 76 ft2

Answer:

\huge\boxed{ 12\ people}

Step-by-step explanation:

At least 6 hours means that the people took at least 6 hours and at most any number that is greater than 6. Here the greatest no. is 10.

<em><u>So, the range for this will be 6-10</u></em>

No. of People who sleep for 6-8 hours = 9

No. of People who sleep for 8-10 hours = 3

No. of People who sleep for 6-10 hours = 9+3

=> 12 people
