Sharon is filling a pool that holds 13 1/2 gallons for her little brother. She can carry 1 8/8 gallons of water each trip. Write and solve an equation to find how many trips she needs to make.

itll take her < or equal to 7 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

1 8/8 = 2 gallons

13 1/2 </ (2xb)

13 1/2 </ 2x7

13 1/2 </ 14

13 1/2 = 7

13 1/2 = 7

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²
