Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the people be represented by numbers (1,2,3,4,5)

-- now 1 shakes hands with the remaining 4, (i.e 2,3,4,5)

-- 2 shakes hands with the remaining 3 (i.e 3,4,5) as it has already shaken hands with 1

-- 3 shakes hands with the remaining two  and so on

If you recognize the pattern there are 4+3+2+1 handshakes that have taken place, or 10 handshakes

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Total area of the two rooms   =   (width1length1) +   (width2length2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangular shape is given by = Length * breadth

Therefore the area of the two rooms can be calculated using the above formula when the variables lengths and widths are given.

Area 1= Area of the first room = length * breadth=  (width1length1)

Area 2=Area of the second room = length * breadth=  (width2length2)

Total area of the two rooms = Area1 + Area 2

                                         =   (width1length1) +   (width2length2)
