Ebi, Jose, Derell, and Asami measured their heights. Ebi's height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height. Jose's height was 3.1 c

irga5000 [103]

Start with assigning each person with a variable to represent their height

Ebi: e
Jose: j
Derell: d
Asami: a

Ebi'd height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height

j + 2.5 = e

Jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than Derell's

d + 3.1 = j

Derell's height is 0.4 cm less than Asami's height

a - 0.4 = d

Ebi is 162.5 cm tall

e = 162.5

So, plug in 162.5 into any of the above equations were there is a variable of e

j + 2.5 = e

j + 2.5 = 162.5

Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation

j = 160 cm

Jose's height is 160 cm

Now, plug in 160 into any of the above equations where there is a j

d + 3.1 = j

d + 3.1 = 160

Subtract 3.1 from both sides of the equation

d = 156.9 cm

Derell's height 156.9 cm

so, plug in 156.9 into any of the above equations where there is a d

a - 0.4 = d

a - 0.4 = 156.9

Add 0.4 on both sides of the equation

a = 157.3 cm

Asami's height is 157.3 cm

uysha [10]

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
area of rectangle=base*height
in this problem
base is 22 ft
height is 2 yd

convert yd to ft
1 yd is equal to 3 ft
2 yd--------> 2*3-----> 6 ft

area of rectangle=22*6-----> 132 ft²

the answer is
132 ft²
