In order to solve this problem, the approach should be formulating equations such that they form a system of linear equations. Let's start by assigning variables. Let x be the number of homeruns made by Peter, and y be the number of homeruns made by Alice. Therefore,
x = 2(y - 6)
This is the equation for the relationship between Peter's and Alice's hits. The second equation would be the sum of their hits:
x + y = 18
These are the two independent equations in order to solve the two unknowns, x and y. Substituting the first equation into the second equation,
2(y - 6) + y = 18
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12
3y = 30
y = 10
Using y=10 to the first equation:
x = 2(10 - 6)
x = 8
Therefore, Peter made 8 homeruns, while Alice made 10 homeruns for a total of 18.
He will take the first one at 2:00 pm and the other at 4:00 pm
Answer:
115.48
Step-by-step explanation:
This shape can be split into two distinct shapes
Two halves of a semi circle, and a rectangle in between
Circle:
Putting both halves of the semi circle together will give you a full circle. The diameter of the circle is given (7m).
The area of a circle is A = π 
The radius, r, is half of the diameter, so 7 / 2 = 3.5m
A = π 
A = π * 
A = 38.38
Rectangle:
The area of a rectangle is A = h b
The height, h, is known at 7m
The base, b, can be found by removing the length from the dot to the end of the semi circles. This length is the radius of the semi circles, 3.5m
Removing the radius from the total length given
18 - 3.5 - 3.5 = 11m
The base is 11m
A = h b
A = 7 * 11 = 77
Total Area = Circle area + Rectangle area
Total Area = 38.38 + 77 = 115.48
