Pamela is incorrect. When you multiply anything negative by a negative, the product will always be a positive. Because the two negative signs cancel each other out.
The most important thing that you have to know is that all angles in a triangle equals 180°
Answer:
75+150=225 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate each layer.
Area1+Area2= Total area
A1= a*b*d
A2=a*c*d
A1=5*5*3=75 in^2
A2=5*10*3=150 in^2
75+150=225 in^2
First we should figure out how much over the weight limit the passengers are. We can find this by 750-450 which is 300. The amount of weight that needs to get off the elevator is 300 kilograms. Then, we know that each passenger weighs 70 kilograms. We can represent this as 70p.The inequality is 70p \geq 300. Then we can solve by dividing both sides of the inequality by 70. We get p \geq 4.28... Since people only come in whole numbers, and it has to be greater than 4.28, the number of excess passengers is 5.
Hope this helped!
