It would be a trapezoid because parallelograms have the top and bottom usually the same number.
Because the area in the drawing is 36 cm^2, one side length is 6 cm.
On the actual floor, this equates to 24 ft.
This means the area of the floor in real life is 576 square feet.
Therefore the ratio is 36 square centimetres : 576 square feet.
This is the same as 1 square centimetre : 16 square feet.
Set up the equation
x = the smaller number
x + 15 = the larger number
x + x + 15 =39
solve for x
this will be the smaller number
add 15 to get the larger number
For this question you can say:
10/2 = a/a-9 is equal to 2a = 10a - 90
so now you should add -10a on both sides:
2a -10a = -90 ⇒ -8a = -90 ⇒ a = -90/-8 ⇒ a = 11.25 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
