From the instructions i gather it might be like this
A² + 2ab + b² ; Solve when a=10 & b=50
Simply plug in 10 for a and 50 for b in our given equation :)
(10)² + 2(10)(50) + (50)²
Simplify.
100 + 20(50) + 2500
Simplify.
(100 + 2500) + 1000
Simplify.
2600 + 1000
Simplify.
3600
Hope I helped! :)
Ratio of girls to boys = 5/3
Number of girls in 40 students would be 3/5 * 40 = 24
The area of the whole room = 14 × 18 = 252
Since they divide it by half, divide the are by 2.
252 ÷ 2 = 126
Answer = 126 ft²
Hope this helped☺☺
