Well, to get the possible length you start with 6 in (0.5 feet) and add 5.5 feet multiple times. You could get 6, 11.5, 17, 22.5, 28, 33.5, 39, 44.5, 50, ...
Notice we missed the "35" option, which is, thus, not possible.

Find the area of the shaded region. ​
densk [106]

[1]

A1 = (h (a + b)) / 2

A1 = (21 (17 + 32)) / 2

A1 = (21 x 49) / 2

A1 = 1,029 / 2

A1 = 514.5 mm²

[2]

A2 = (b x h) / 2

A2 = (11 x 9) / 2

A2 = 99 / 2

A2 = 49.5 mm²

[3]

The area of the shaded region =

A1 - A2 =

514.5 mm² - 49.5 mm² =

465 mm²

The answer is 465 mm².

One large box of birdseed can feed half a dozen parrots for 15 days. For how many days can this same large box of birdseed feed
iren [92.7K]
Box = b
Parrots = p
b/p = number of days it can support the parrots
Half a dozen = 6 (A dozen is 12)
1/6 = 15
To work out the percentage of '6' '5' is, use the equation
(5/6)*100 = 83.333....
Meaning that with one less bird, the box will support the birds for 16.666... (100 - 18.333...) longer
(15/100)*116.666... = 17.4999....
The box will sustain the parrots for 17.5 days

6x + 3 (2x) - 7 - 2³ Please include th steps to solving it.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

24x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this together with a step-by-step explanation!

First we need to make sure we remember that there are appropriate ways on how to solve these. LIKE PEMDAS.

6x + 3 (2x) - 7 - 2³

Let's multiply the 3 and 2x together.

6x + 6x - 7 - 2³

Now let's do the exponent

6x + 6x - 7 - 8

Now let's add everything together! But remember only common variables can be added together.

24x - 15 is the answer.

You can no longer break anything down.

I really hope this helped you!
