To find the area of a composite figure, separate the figure into simpler shapes whose area can be found. Then add the areas together. Be sure than none of the simpler figures have overlapping areas
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is a as proven by the othee options being false
Assume Josh made X cupcakes; Alice made Y cupcakes; Tom made Z cupcakes.
Josh made 10 more cakes than Alice so,
X = Y + 10 ---- 1st Eqn.
Alice made 8 more than Tom so,
Y= Z+8 --- 2nd Eqn.
Total cakes = 62 so,
X+Y+Z = 62 ---- 3rd Eqn.
by solving three equations we get X= 30; Y= 20; Z=12.
So Tom made 12 cupcakes
