The number of hardback books that are on the bookshelf is 29 books.

  • Let the total number of books be T.
  • Let the number of hardback books be H.
  • Let the number of paperback books be P.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total number of books = 36 books

To determine the number of hardback books that are on the bookshelf:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

The total number of books is:

T = H+P

The number of hardback books is 15 more than <u>twice</u> the number of paperback books:

H =2P+15

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

36 = 2P+15+P\\\\36=3P+15\\\\3P=36-15\\\\3P=21\\\\P=\frac{21}{3}

P = 7 books

For number of hardback books:

H =2P+15\\\\H=2(7)+15\\\\H=14+15

H = 29 books

Answer:

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 100 unit² (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of circle = 6 units

Angle of one unshaded area = 160'

Find:

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions

Computation:

Angle of one shaded area = 180' - 160'

Angle of one unshaded area = 20'

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 2[θ/360][πr²]

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 2[160/360][(3.14)(6)²]

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 2[160/360][(3.14)(36)]

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 2[160/360][(3.14)(36)]

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = [0.888][113.04]

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 100.46

Sum of the areas of two  shaded regions = 100 unit² (Approx.)
