from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.
likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so

No, Joe and Grace don’t have enough together because 11/10 is only 1.1 and 3/4 is .75 and u add that together u get 1.85 which is less 2.
Grace needs 12 cups of sugar to make the cookies because 1 cups of sugar makes 6 cookies and each person is getting 3 that’s only enough for 2 people , so multiple every by 12 to get 24 people, 12 cups of sugar, and 72 cookies .
Answer: x= -6; y= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + y = 23
4x - 9y = - 15
-4x + y = 23
y = 23 + 4x [Add 4x to both side]
4x - 9(23 + 4x) = - 15
4x - 207 - 36x = - 15
-32x - 207 = -15
-32x = 192 [Add 207 to both side]
x = -6 [Divide -32 from both side]
-4x + y = 23
-4(-6) + y = 23 [Plug in -6 for x]
24 + y = 23 [Subtract 24 from both side]
y = -1
