It looks like he used the distributive property. He multiplied 7*2. Then. 7*6. Then he multiplied them together. That is not how you multiply numbers
Answer:
Alix does. See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
<em><u>Jenny</u></em>
- b1 = 90 cm
- b2 = 80 cm
- height = 23 cm
<em><u>Alex</u></em>
- b1 = 90 cm
- b2 = 70 cm
- height = 27 cm
Formula
For both territories the answer is based on the formula
Solution
<em><u>Jenny</u></em>
- Area = (90 + 80)23/2
- Area = 170 * 23 / 2
- Area = 85 * 23
- Area = 1955 units.
<em><u>Alex</u></em>
- Area = (70 + 90)*27/2
- Area = 160*27 / 2
- Area = 80* 27
- Area = 2160

Join the centre O to the chord (let it be MN) & let OH be the perpendicular to the chord
OH bisects MN into 2 equal parts (each one is x/2)
OMH is a right triangle with one side =8, the second leg =x/2 & the hypotenuse = 12 (Radius)
Apply Pythagoras:
12² = 8² +(x/2)² ==>144=64 + x²/4 ==> x²=4(144-64) =320
x²=320==> x=√320 =17.88 ≈17.9
Answer:
7 to the second power... because 7 times is 49 and 49-49 is 0... so 7 to the second power
