Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:
a² + b² = c²
8² + b² = 10²
64 + b² = 100
36 = b²
6 = b
Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:
1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)
1/2(6 x 8)
1/2(48)
24
Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:
<em>We know that the longer leg is 10 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 16.</em>
1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)
1/2(10 x 8)
1/2(80)
40
Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:
40 + 24 = 64
Answer: 8 proposals per hour
Step-by-step explanation: 40/5 = 8
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5(x + 2)
Distribute
x + 5x+10
Combine like terms
6x+10
Let x = 9
6(9) +10
54+10
64
Answer:
less than 55 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
11 laps at 5 minutes per lap is 55 minutes.
Since she will run fewer than 11 laps, she will run less than 55 minutes.
