Zarrin [17]

Answer:

  45 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by ...

  A = (1/2)bh

where b is the base, 2 cm + 3 cm = 5 cm, and h is the height, 6 cm.

  A = (1/2)(5 cm)(6 cm) = 15 cm^2

__

The area of the rectangle is given by ...

  A = bh

where b is the base, 12 cm, and h is the height, 2.5 cm.

  A = (12 cm)(2.5 cm) = 30 cm^2

__

The area of the whole figure is the area of the triangle added to the area of the rectangle:

  drawing area = 15 cm^2 + 30 cm^2 = 45 cm^2

You are having a meeting with the CEO of a soda company. You have interpreted the number of cans of soda produced versus profit
LenaWriter [7]
The shape of the graph is similar to the letter W; however, the region of interest will lie on the right of the origin, which means only the right half of the W(a negative number of cans cannot be produced). The profit produced will be maximized if the number of cans produced is greater than 3. The company will be at a loss if the number of cans produced is near 2.5. The break even situations are present if the company produces 2 or 3 cans.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by t_1=2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by t_2=10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t_1-t_2=3.6\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+t_1+t_2\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+2.1+10\\\Rightarrow\ x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

Arisa [49]
<h2>Area of rectangular board is 1920000 square millimeters</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular board is 1.6 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.

Here we need to find the area of the board in square millimeters.

Length = 1.6 m= 1.6 x 1000 = 1600 mm

Width = 1.2 m= 1.2 x 1000 = 1200 mm

Area = Length x Width

Area = 1600 x 1200

Area = 1920000 square millimeters

Area of rectangular board is 1920000 square millimeters
