A patio is to be made in the shape of an isosceles triangle as shown.

(a) Why would the calculation A= 1/2 (22) (16) not result in the correct area of the triangle?
(b) Determine the area of the patio to the nearest square foot.
(c) If the patio is to be covered by stone that costs $12.25 per square foot, what will be the total cost of covering the patio with stone?

Answer:

(a) 22 is not the correct value of h

(b) 164 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Apparently, the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

was used. We recognize the base of the triangle is 16 feet, so apparently the formula was used with h=22.

22 is the side length, not the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

The computed value is not the area because 22 is not the height.

(b) Given three side lengths, an appropriate formula is Heron's formula:

s = (a+b+c)/2 and A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

Here, we have ...

s = (22 +22 +16)/2 = 30 and A = √(30(8)(8)(14) = 16√105 ≈ 163.95

The area is about 164 square feet.

(164 ft²)($12.25/ft²) = $2009

Answers

Answer:

48 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no image, I’m just going to assume that these three measurement are the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is length x width x height.

Use formula with given dimensions:

3 x 8 x 2 = 48

Volume is measured in cubic centimeters

(cm in this case)

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 48 cm^3

Samuel made a list of his test scores: 88, 100, 92, 80, 85, 94, and 90. What is the lowest test score he can get on his next test to have mean score of 90?

Answers

Answer:

he needs to get a 91 to have a mean score of 90

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the known scores to get 629

let 's' = lowest test score

(629 + s) ÷ 8 = 90 [we divide by 8 because there are 7 known and 1 unknown score)

cross-multiply to get:

629 + s = 720

s = 720-629

s = 91

Ralph Chase plans to sell a piece of property for $155000. He wants the money to be paid off in two ways - a short-term note at 9% interest and a
long-term note at 7% interest. Find the amount of each note if the total annual interest paid is $12550.

Answers

Answer:

7% = 70.000

9% = 85,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations can be derived from this question

x + y = 155,000 equation 1

0.09x + 0.07y = 12,550 equation 2

where y = amount invested in 7% note

x = amount invested in 9% note

multiply equation 1 by 0.09

0.09x + 0.09y = 13,950 equation 3

subtract equation 2 from 3

0.02y = 1400

y = 70,000

substitute for y in equation 1

70,000 + x -= 155,000

x = 155,000 - 70,000

x = 85,000

Answer:

[tex] \small \sf \: x = - 12 \: \: and \: y = 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 16.

-2x - 3y = -6

Add both equation ;

[tex] \small \sf \: \: \: \: \: 2x + 4y = 16 \\ + \small \sf \: \: \underline{ -2x - 3y = -6 }\\ \small \sf \: \: \: \: \: \underline{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \ \blue{y = 10}} [/tex]

Therefore , y = 10

Substitute the value of y in the first equation

2x + 4 = 16

2 x + 4 × (10) = 16

2x + 40 = 16

subtract 40 from both side

2x + 40 - 40 = 16 - 40

2x = - 24

divide each side by 2

2x/ 2 = - 24 / 2

x = - 12

Answers

Answer:

1. x = 126

angle POS = 33

2. x = 31

angle MOL = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

for question one, 147 degrees equals x + 21

so x = 126

147 plus 147 equals 294

360-294 equals 66

66/2 equals angle POS

angle POS = 33

for question 2, 62 degrees equals 2x

62 divided by 2 is 31

x = 31

62 + 62 = 124

360-124 = 236

236/2 = 118

angle MOL = 118

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\Sigma\left {n} \atop {1}} \right. (5n^2+3n)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the series 8 + 18 + 28 + 38

First, we need to find the sum of the nth term of the sequence as shown

Sn = n/2[2a+(n-1)d]

n is the number of terms

a is the first term = 8

d is the common difference = 18-8 = 28-18 = 10

Substitute

Sn = n/2 [2(8)+(n-1)*10]

Sn = n/2 [16+10n-10]

Sn = n/2[10n+6]

Sn = 2n/2(5n+3)

Sn = n(5n+3)

Sn = 5n²+3n

In Sigma form;

HELPPP Read the passage from Animal Farm.On the third Sunday after Snowball's expulsion, the animals were somewhat surprised to hear Napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all. He did not give any reason for having changed his mind, but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work, it might even be necessary to reduce their rations. The plans, however, had all been prepared, down to the last detail. A special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks. The building of the windmill, with various other improvements, was expected to take two years.That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact, Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference. This, said Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!" skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. The animals were not certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.Which examples of propaganda are found in this passage? Select two options.Snowball is used as a scapegoat.Napoleon talks to the animals through Squealer.Squealer targets his message to emphasize plain folks.Squealer uses glittering generalities to describe Napoleons tactics.Napoleon uses name-calling to differentiate the pigs from the other animals.
