Answer:
1) 8
2) 450 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Each triangle takes half a square worth of space, so if you add up 2 triangles for 1 square that is 1/4 of the area, multiply that by 4 and you get 8 cameras.
The left over space in the store is the same amount of space as all the cameras space added together since each camera takes up half a square. That way 4 cameras(each 112.5 ft^2 each) equals 1/2 of the room which added together is 450 ft^2, the other half would be the left over space, 450 ft^2.
Answer:
Number of calls received in 1st evening = 24
Number of calls received in 2nd evening = 33
Number of calls received in 3rd evening = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
number of calls received in first evening be "x"
number of calls received in 2nd evening be "y"
number of calls received in 3rd evening be "z"
Total, in 3 evenings, we have 129 phone calls, so we can write:
x + y + z = 129
3rd evening, 3 times as first evening. We can write:
z = 3x
2nd evening, 9 MORE THAN FIRST. So we can write:
y = 9 + x
Now we replace 2nd and 3rd equation in 1st equation to get:
x + y + z = 129
x + 9 + x + 3x = 129
Now, first, we solve for x:
Solving for y:
y = 9 + x
y = 9 + 24
y = 33
Solving for z:
z = 3x
z = 3(24)
z = 72
Thus,
Number of calls received in 1st evening = 24
Number of calls received in 2nd evening = 33
Number of calls received in 3rd evening = 72
