The area of a regular polygon is given by the formula which is expressed as:

area = (½)(apothem)(perimeter)

We calculate as follows:

area = (½)(7)(7.2 x 5)
area = 126 square units

Hope this answers the question.

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

12 small boxes

8 large boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of small boxes shipped

let y be the number of large boxes shipped

This means:

the total number of boxes is 20, so

x + y = 20

the number of 50 pound boxes is x and the number of 100 pound boxes is y and together there are 1400 pounds, so

50x + 100y = 1400

Then, solve

First, simplify the equation 50x + 100y = 1400 by dividing both sides by 50

x + 2y = 28

Now, subtract the two equations:

x + 2y = 28

- (x + y = 20)

y = 8

Now plug this into the equation x + y = 20

x + 8 = 20

x = 12

So the number of small boxes is 12 and the number of large boxes is 8.

Here's a graph:
