Answer» Answer: 510 Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Here, Total area is 2160 inch^2. Given, Area covered by TRIANGLES is 432 inch^2 ; Area covered by squares is 180 inch^2 Lorea wants to the cover the remaining area with the parallelograms of base 2 inch and height 1.5 inch. We know, area of parallelogram is given by the PRODUCT of its base and height. So, area of each parallelogram should be 2 x 1.5 inch^2 = 3 inch^2 Let there are N parallelograms, so total area covered by the parallelograms is 3 inch^2 + 3 inch^2 + 3 inch^2 + ...upto n times, which can be written as 3n inch^2. Total area = area covered by triangles + area covered by squares + area covered by parallelogram. 2160 = 432 + 180 + 3n ⇒ 2160 - 432 - 180 = 3n ⇒ 1548 = 3n ⇒ 510 = n { divide by 3 } Hence the correct option is 510.
Looking for a short answer ? let there are n parall. total area = ar. of triangle + ar. of squares + ( 1.5 x 2 x n ) 2160 - 432 - 180 = 3n 1548 = 3n 510 = n |
