Answer:

Women: 448 Men: 560 Children: 1232

Step-by-step explanation:

5+4+11 = 20/2240 = 112

Women = 4 x 112 = 448

Men = 5 x 112 = 560

Children = 11 x 112 = 1232

Total = 1232 + 560 +448 = 2240

Find the area of this parallelogram?

Jet001 [13]

So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or

$a = b \times h$

a being area

b being base

h being height

the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm

(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)

so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get

$a = 15 \times 8$

and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120

So the answer is 120
