Brick = 3.5 in by 7.5 in and costs $0.59
Paver = 8.4 in by 8.4 in and costs $1.88

The small patio's area = 3430 square inches
The Area of 1 Brick = 26.25 square inches
The Area of 1 Paver = 70.56 square inches

The # of Bricks to complete the Patio will be:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Brick = # of Bricks to complete the patio
3430 square inches / 26.25 square inches = 130.67 = 131

Then, multiply the # of Bricks to complete the patio by the amount that 1 brick costs:

131 * $0.59 = $77.29

It will take $77.29 to complete the Patio with bricks.

The # of Pavers to complete the Patio:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Paver = # of Pavers to complete the Patio
3430 square inches / 70.56 square inches = 48.6 = 49

Then, multiply the # of Pavers to complete the patio by the amount that 1 Paver costs:

49 * $1.88 = $92.12

Cost of Bricks to complete Patio = $77.29
Cost of Pavers to complete Patio = $92.12

To conclude, Bricks would cost less by $14.83.

Which is the first step in simplifying the expression?

Elenna [48]

$\dfrac{3}{2 + \sqrt{2} }$

To rationalise the denominator, this is a standard step:
$= \dfrac{3}{2 + \sqrt{2} } \times \dfrac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2 - \sqrt{2}}$

Answer: Option A

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me continue to complete the question, though it is not ask for

$= \dfrac{3(2 - \sqrt{2})}{(2 + \sqrt{2)}(2 - \sqrt{2}) }$

$= \dfrac{3(2 - \sqrt{2})}{4 - 2 }$

$= \dfrac{6 - 2\sqrt{2}}{2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a complementary angle (meaning it will add up to 90 degrees)

5 × 9 = 45 45 + 15 = 60 60 + 30 = 90 therefore x = 9 Hope that helps!
