After that incident, the Civil defense team decided to buy new trucks with ladders higher than 100 feet. They found 2 different

trucks with the same height of ladders. The first truck costs $145,000 and will cost $0.31 per mile traveled based on the current gas prices. The second truck will cost $160,000 but gets better gas mileage, costing $0.27 per mile. They need to decide which truck is the best deal.

Answer:

the first truck

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost difference between the first truck and the second truck = $160,000-$145,000 = $15,000

the difference of gas cost between the first truck and the second truck = $0.31 - $0.26= $0.05 per mile.

so,

I think, this is a very significant number of truck cost compared with gas cost

for the best deal, the first truck is the best choice.

Answer:

126 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the figure = area of the parallelogram + area of the square + area of the rectangle

✔️Area of the parallelogram = b*h

b = 10 in.

h = 3.5 in.

Area = 10*3.5

Area = 35 in.²

✔️Area of the square = s²

s = 4 in.

Area = 4²

Area = 16 in.²

✔️Area of the rectangle = L*W

L = 12.5 in.

W = 6 in.

Area = 12.5*6

Area = 75 in.²

✅Area of the figure = 35 + 16 + 75

= 126 in.²
