1. regarding frans hals' painting, young man with a skull, which statement is true?
a. hals applied the paint to be as smooth as the skin of an onion.
b. its coldness and lack of color reflect hals' despondence.
c. it's an example of a vanitas piece.
d. it was painted in the manner of the northern renaissance.
letter d is wrong, just a heads up!

i would think b and c

perimeter = 2l +2w, divide total perimeter by 2 for total length of 1 side and 1 width

172/2 = 86 (  total for 1 side and 1 width)

86-24 = 62 (since length is 24 ft longer subtract 24 then divide by 2 for width)

62/2 = 31

width = 31 feet

length = 31 +24 = 55 feet

check: 31*2 = 62, 55*2 = 110,  110+62 = 172

c, d, e, f, g, a, b, and c.

sometimes western music will also use solfege. the names of these are do ra me fa sol la si (or ti) and do.

to indicate a note a half step higher or lower then the original note, you would say c # (for a half a step above c) or bb (for half a step below b)
