Both are correct they just chose a different variable to solve for first. they will both get correct answers if they do the rest correctly.
Answer:
a. $8625
Step-by-step explanation:
So there are 115 members and they each raise $75.
That means one member would raise $75, the second member would raise another $75, the third would raise another $75 etc....
So you just have to multiply 115 and 75 together and that gives you $8625
Answer:
Amount of fencing: 32 feet
Amount of soil: 63 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Fencing: In a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length. So we do:
9+7+9+7 = <u>32 feet</u>
Soil: The soil is the area. Area is equal to length times width. Length is 9 and width is 7, so we do:
9 x 7 = <u>63 feet squared</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
I didn't need the other angles, but right of the bat you can tell it's two right triangles back to back.
<em>y </em> has to be 90° , as you have noticed they already gave you 70° on the right side of the shape meaning if you were to add 90 which is why plus 70 what would that give you? 160.
the total interior for a triangles angles has to be 180°. if you do the math 180 - 160 you get the leftover 20° for x.
I suck at explaining stuff, hope this helps
