Answer:
132 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the shape as a trapezoid with a rectangle added on top.
The area of the trapezoid is (7+19)/2 × 8 =104
The area of the rectangle is 7×4 = 28
Add the two areas: 104+28= 132
OR consider the shape as a tall rectangle with the two triangles added to the sides.
The area of the rectangle is 7(4+8) = 84
The area of the triangles is 8(19-7)/2= 48
[Each triangle is 24 cm²]
Add those areas
84+48=132
Same result: 132 cm²
This is the concept of proportionality, we are required to calculate for the number of hours two crews can use to paint the house altogether.
Here proceed as follows;
number of hours new crew can paint=12 hrs
portion of work painted by new crew in 1 hour= 1/12
number of hours experienced crew can paint=6 hours
Portion of work painted by experienced crew in 1 hour=1/6
Portion of work painted by the two crews altogether in 1 hour will be:
1/6+1/12=1/4
thus the total amount of hours that the two painters will take to paint will be:
4 hours
Distance=speed times time
distance/time=speed
distance=538
time=9 and 15mins
60mins=1hr
15/60=1/4=0.25
time=9.25hr
distance/time=538/9.25=58.162mph
about 58mph
If you imagine it like the picture below, you could use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x
Answer: 1⁵/₈ pints
Step-by-step explanation:
First can contained 3¹/₄ pints and second can contained 6¹/₂.
To make them equal, first find the different;
= 6¹/₂ - 3¹/₄
= 6.5 - 3.25
= 3.25
Divide this difference by 2;
= 3.25/2
= 1.625
= 1⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀
= 1⁵/₈ pints
If Carson pours 1⁵/₈ pints from the second Can, it would increase the first can to 4⁷/₈ pints whilst reducing the second can to 4⁷/₈ pints as well.
