Answer:

The cost of

Regular baskets = x = $20

Deluxe baskets = y = $42

Step-by-step explanation:

The drama club is selling gift baskets to raise money for new costumes.

Let us represent:

The cost of

Regular baskets = x

Deluxe baskets = y

During the fall play, they sold a combined 18 regular gift baskets and 19 deluxe gift baskets, earning a total of $1,158.

Hence:

18x + 19y = 1158....... Equation 1

During the spring musical, they sold 15 regular gift baskets and 12 deluxe gift baskets, earning a total of $804.

15x + 12y = 804...... Equation 2

Combining them two Equations

18x + 19y = 1158....... Equation 1

15x + 12y = 804...... Equation 2

Multiplying Equation 1 by 15 and Equation 2 by 18 to Eliminate x

270x + 285y = 17370..... Equation 3

270x + 216y = 14472...... Equation 4

We Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3.

69y = 2898

y = 2898/69

y = $42

Solving for x

18x + 19y = 1158....... Equation 1

18x + 19 × 42 = 1158

18x + 798 = 1158

18x = 1158 - 798

18x = 360

x = 360/18

x = $20

Therefore,

The cost of

Regular baskets = x = $20

Deluxe baskets = y = $42

The area of triangle ABC is _____.
Marizza181 [45]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 
SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.
 
Using Heron's Formula we can find the area of the triangle.
 A = root (s (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c))
 s = (a + b + c) / 2
 Where,
 s: semi-perimeter
 a, b, c: sides of the triangle
 Substituting values:
 s = (15 + 16 + 20) / 2
 s = 25.5
 s = 26
 The area will be:
 A = root (26 * (26-15) * (26-16) * (26-20))
 A = 130.9961832
 A = 130 u ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The area of triangle ABC is:
 
C.
 
130 u ^ 2

What is the factored form of -1/2(32x - 40) - (20x - 4)? ​
inna [77]

Answer:

12(-3x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 ( 32x - 40) - (20x - 4) = -16x + 20 - 20x + 4 = -36x + 24 = 6(-6x + 4) = 12(-3x + 2)

Solve for the area using heron´s formula
Vadim26 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  252.8 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing side of the right triangle can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  s² = 20² -16² = 400 -256 = 144

  s = 12 . . . . cm

The area of a right triangle is more easily found using the traditional area formula:

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(12 cm)(16 cm) = 96 cm² (left-side triangle)

The area of the triangle on the right can be found from Heron's formula. The semiperimeter is ...

  s = (16 +20 +23)/2 = 29.5

The area is ...

  A = √(29.5(29.5 -16)(29.5 -20)(29.5 -23)) = √(29.5·13.5·9.5·6.5)

  A = √24591.9375 ≈ 156.818 . . . . . cm² (right-side triangle)

Then the total area of the figure is ...

  A = 96 cm² +156.818 cm² = 252.818 cm² . . . . total area
