Answer:

Sarah bough 3 Angelfish and 5 Bloodfin Tetra

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of Angelfish fish and

b be the number of Bloodfin fish

Then according to the given statements

we get the following equations

a+b = 8\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\4.75a+1.50b=21.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 2

From Equation 1

a = 8-b

Putting in equation 2

4.75(8-b)+1.50b = 21.75\\38-4.75b+1.50b = 21.75\\38-3.25b = 21.75\\-3.25b = 21.75-38\\-3.25b = -16.25\\\frac{-3.25b}{-3.25} = \frac{-16.25}{-3.25}\\b = 5

Putting b=5 in equation 1

a+5 = 8\\a = 8-5 = 3

Hence,

Sarah bough 3 Angelfish and 5 Bloodfin Tetra

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

332

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many seats there were, multiply the number of rows with the number of seats in each row:

15 (24) = 360

From these total seats, there are 28 empty seats, meaning:

360 - 28 = 332

There were 332 people.

How to solve for shaded area
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(a)  12.96 ft²

(b)  21.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For the first diagram

Area of the shaded region (A) = Area of Tripezium- area of circle

A = [1/2(a+b)h]-[πr²]............... Equation 1

Where a and b are the parallel side of the tripezium respectively, h = height of the tripezium, r = radius of the circle.

From the diagram,

Given: a = 15 ft, b = 6 ft, h = 12 ft, r = h/2 = 12/2 = 6 ft.

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

A = [12(15+6)/2]-(3.14×6²)

A = 126-113.04

A = 12.96 ft²

(b) For the second diagram,

Area of the shaded region (A') = Area of square- area of circle

A' = (L²)-(πr²)............. Equation 2

Where L = lenght of one side of the square, r = radius of the circle

From the diagram,

Given: L = 2r = (2×5) = 10 in, r = 5 in

Substitute these values into equation 2

A' = (10²)-(3.14×5²)

A' = 100-78.5

A = 21.5 in²
