Answer:

B) 171 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the given base and height values, we find the area to be ...

A = 1/2(23 +15)(9) = (19)(9) = 171 . . . square units

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can select the correct answer choice simply on the basis of "reasonableness." If this were a 9×15 rectangle, its area would be 9×15 = 135 square units, more than 85.5. You know its area is less than a 9×23 rectangle, so is less than 9×23 = 207 square units. Only one answer choice is a value between 135 and 207.

Multiplication by 9 is not so hard. It is multiplication by 10-1:

15×9 = 15×(10 -1) = 150 -15 = 135

Are these congruent or no?

Yes, both are congruent. The longest sides have the little mark indicating they are congruent.
Also, the two right angles correspond and are congruent as well.

I hope that helps!

Zach created a model of his

shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Zach used a scale of 1:3, we just need to multiply the width of the model truck by 3 ft in order to figure out the width of the actual truck

(2.4)(3) = 7.2 ft

Answer: $4.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Make equivalent fractions for each fruit.

Apples: 1.62/1 = x/2.5

X = $4.05 for 2.5 pounds of apples

Bananas: 0.48/1 = x/1.3333333333

X = .64 for 1.3333333333 pounds of bananas

Now add the results together to find the total cost.

4.05 + .64 = $4.69

The probability of three independent events happening one after the other is the multiplication of the probability of the single events.

The probability of spinning an odd number is 5/10=1/2, because there are 5 odd numbers (1,3,5,7 and 9) out of the 10 numbers from 1 to 10.

The probability of spinning a number less than 4 is 3/10, because there are 3 numbers (1,2 and 3) that are less than 4 out of the 10 numbers from 1 to 10.

The probability of spinning a 7 is 1/10, because you only have one good outcome out of 10.

So, the probability of winning the game is

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{3}{10}\times\dfrac{1}{10} = \dfrac{3}{200}$
