Can someone help me with this
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for the area of something is 1/2 * base * height

So we multiply 1/2 * 8 * 2 for The first triangle and get 8

Repeat for the other 3:

1/2* 2*2 = 2

8+8+2+2 = 20

* there are 4 triangles but I only needed to do the formula for two of them because they have identical triangles.

I hope this helps :)

Tom bought one third pickles as many pickles as alexa. Together their pickles cost 56p. How many pickles did they each buy?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let    pickle bought by alexa =x

then according to given condition ,

pickle bought by Tom= (1/3) of Alexa

pickle bought by Tom= (1/3) x

hence also given

totall pickle cost = Tom cost + alexa cost = 56p

(1/3)x+x=56

taking L.C.M

(4/3)x=56

x=56*3/4

x=42 p

so it means,

<h2>Alexa cost = x = 42p</h2><h2>Tom cost = (1/3)x= (1/3)*42 = 14 p</h2>
