2. The Build-Your-Own-Sailboat booth that Althea visited gave her and hers friend the chance to make a sailboat model. Each boy chose a different quadrilateral for a sail. Althea chose a trapezoid, and her friend chose a parallelogram. (a) Compose each shape into a rectangle to determine the area. The formula for area of a rectangle is . What is the area of each quadrilateral? Show your work. (b) Althea said that all quadrilaterals can be decomposed into triangles to find the area of the quadrilateral. Is this statement always true, sometimes true, or always false? Give two examples to support your answer.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
