Given:
Two identical parallelograms total area = 9 1/3 yd²
Each parallelogram has height 1 1/3 yd
Area formula: area = base × height
Split the total area equally to find each parallelogram's area.
Convert 9 1/3: (9*3)+1 = 28/3
Divide by 2: 28/3 × 1/2 = 28/6 yd², which is 4 4/6 yd² → 4 2/3 yd²
So each parallelogram's area is 4 2/3 yd²
Set up base × 1 1/3 yd = 4 2/3 yd²
Convert and divide: 14/3 yd² ÷ 4/3 yd = base
Multiply: 14/3 × 3/4 = base
Compute: 14*3 / 3*4 = base
42 / 12 = base
Which simplifies to 3 6/12 yd = base
or 3 1/2 yd = base
a) Each parallelogram has a base of 3 1/2 yards
b) If the two parallelograms form a rectangle:
Rectangle area = length × width
Length = 3 1/2 yd × 2 = 7 yds
Width = 3 1/2 yds
Area = 7 yd × 3 1/2 yd
Area = 7 × 7/2 yd²
Area = 7*7 / 2 yd²
Area = 49 / 2 yd²
Area = 24 1/2 yd²
Answer:
120*2.75*60/5280
= 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering James takes 120 steps in a minute, with 60 minutes in an hour and a mile consisting of 5,280 feet, we can establish his walking pace. By multiplying his steps per minute by the distance of each step (120 * 2.75), we determine the distance he covers in one minute. This value is then multiplied by 60 to account for the total hour. Finally, the total distance is divided by the feet in a mile (5,280), which results in a speed of 3.75 miles per hour. Thus, the calculation becomes 120*2.75*60/5280
