The whole ends up being 42 ft².
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height.
So that lil triangle piece is 1/2 * 2 * 3 = 1/2 * 6 = 3
Now we do the rectangle piece. Area of a rectangle = length * width
So that rectangle is 3 * 7 = 21
If you take away those two, you are left with a trapezoid.
Area of a trapezoid is 1/2 * (base 1 + base 2) * height
Base 1 is the width of the rectangle which is 3. Base 2 is the 6. The height is the given 11 feet minus the 7 feet from the length of the rectangle which is 4.
Plug all this in to the formula you get 1/2 * (6 + 3) * 4 = 1/2 * 9 * 4 = 1/2 * 36 = 18.
Now add all of your areas together;
21 + 3 + 18 = 24 + 18 = 42
Answer:
So like I shouldn't represent with a letter? I should use 2?
I think it should be w+28/4 if thats one of the answer choices.
In the fairest school 70% are below 16 years old
1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21
Let’s start solving:
=> 1/3 of 100%
=> 100 / 3 = 33.33%
thus 33.33% = 21
=> 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school.
Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old
Have you notice that you are asking for a 70% of students but there are already 33.33% of teacher. Thus your given problem is not right already.
=> 100% - 33.33% = 66.67% that’s the only remaining percentage and not 70%
=> 63 * .6667 = 42.0021
Thus, there are around 42 people who are 16 years old younger.
The answer is A I’m pretty sure
