Mrs. Smith is creating a rectangular flower bed such that the width is half of the
length. The area of the flower bed is 34 square feet. Write and solve an equation
to determine the width of the flower bed, to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

As for this problem, we will first establish that the length of the flower bed be represented as x, the width of the flower bed be represented as x/2 ,and the area of the flower bed be taken as it is since it is given. We then follow the formula for area which is length multiplied to width which is:

A = LW

we then substitute them

34 square feet = x (x/2)

now all we need to do is find x first.

34 square feet = x squared / 2

now do a cross multiplication

68 square feet = x squared

then get the square root of both sides

8.246 feet = x

Since x is equal to the length of the flower bed, all we have to do to get the width of it is to divide it by 2. So...

W = x/2

W = 8.246 feet / 2

W = 4.123 feet

And since the problem asked it to find the width of the flower bed to the nearest tenth of a foot, the answer would be 4.1 ft.

Answers

Answer:

Sorry I had to go to dinner here you go hope this helps! :D

Step-by-step explanation:

So, before we start, there are two things we have to go over.

First off, we have "or"

When using or between two probabilitess, you are basically adding them together.

For instance, you first question asks what the probability is of rolling a 5 or a number greater than 3(assuming this is a 6 sided dice).

So, rolling a 5 is a change of 1/6. Since 1 of the 6 dice iwll be 5. The other probability is a 1/2, since 3 of the 6 dice are over 3.

Now lets add these two together because of the "or":

1/2+1/6=3/6+1/6=4/6

So the probabily of rolling a 5 OR rolling a number greater than 3 is 4/6.

This is inclusive, since rolling a 5 is possible and greater than 3.

Now "and" is a bit different and more complex than or is.

Here is an example:

What is the change of rolling a even number or rolling a number above 4?

Well, rolling a even number has a probability of 1/2. Rolling a number above 4 is 1/3.

To find the "and", we multiply the two probabilities.

So 1/3*1/2=1/6

So the probability of rolling a even number and a number above 4 is 1/6.

Now, lets get back to the answers.

So what is the probability of rolling a 2 or a 6?

There is a 1/6 probability to get a 2, and a 1/6 probability to get a 6.

Add it together since they use or:

1/6+1/6=2/6

So the probability of rolling a 2 or a 6 is 2/6, or 1/3.

This is exlusive since you cant roll both a 6 and a 2 at the same time.

Next we have what the probability is of drawing a 6 or a king.

There are 13 different cards in a deck.

There is a 4/52 chance of drawing a 6(spade/heart/etc), and a 4/52 chance of drawing a king. This simplyfies to 1/13 for each.

This is:

1/13+1/13=2/13

So the probability of drawing a 6 or a king is 2/13

This is a exclusive event since a king and 6 cant be drawn at the same time.

Finally, we have:

What is the probability of drawing a queen or a spade?

Again, there is a 4/52 chance of drawing a queen. A spade, however, is different.

13 of the 52 cards can be spades, which simplies to 1/4.

So we have 1/13+1/4=4/52+13/52=17/52

So there is a 17/52 probability of drawing a queen or spade.

This is a inclusive event since it is possible to draw both a spade and queen at the same time.

Hope this answers all your questions and helps you understand what "and" "or" are in probability.

A triangular prism whose total surface area = 64 cm2, and its lateral area = 40 cm2, find the area of ​​its base?

Answers

Answer:

Area of ​​its base = 12cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of ​​its base = 1/2 of its surface area - 1/2 of its lateral area

Its surface area = 64, then 1/2 X 64 = 32cm²

Its lateral area = 40, then 1/2 X 40 = 20cm²

So, Area of ​​its base = 32 - 20 = 12cm²

They’re vertical angles (they’re opposite angles when 2 lines intersect). Since vertical angles are congruent, we can set up an equation to solve for the value of x.
If they’re both equal, we’ll say exactly that in our equation!

2x + 90 = 4x + 30

Combine like terms

2x = 60

Simplify

x = 30

Now, just plug in 30 for one of the x values in either of the equations

2(30) + 90 = 150

Angle = 150 °

Answer:

Area of triangle is 23 yd².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Base of triangle = 8 yd

Height of triangle = 6 yd

To find

Area of triangle

Solution :-

we know that,

Area of triangle = 1 / 2 × base × height

substitute the values

Area of triangle = 1/2 × 8 yd × 6 yd

multiplying the values

Area of triangle = 1/2 × 46 yd²

divide the values

Area of triangle = 46 yd ² /2 = 23 yd².

Therefore, Area of triangle is 23 yd ².

At Safeway, a pound of apples cost $1.32. Mrs. Terry purchased 7.5 pounds of apples. How much money did
Mrs. Terry spend on apples?

Answers

Answer:

the answer is $1.32×7.5=$9.9

Answer:

£9.90

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you can do this. Both are similar.

For the first method it's much quicker but you might need a calculator.

You would simply do 7.5 × 1.32 = £9.90 that should give you the answer.

If you were to do it with out a calculator then what you need to do is 7 × 1.32 = 9.24

Because there is still 0.5 (or 1/2) left from the 7 that you multiplied, you do 1.32 ÷ 2 = 0.66.

Add the 2 numbers together

0.66 + 9.24 = £9.90

What is the radius of each semicircle in this composite figure?

Answers

Answer:

2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to define both the radius and diameter. A diameter is the length of a line through the center of a circle that touches two points on the edge.

In the semicircle on the top, if we can imagine it making up a full circle, we can note that the bottom center of the semicircle is the center of the full circle, with the line of length 4cm going right through it. Similarly, for the bottom semicircle, as the line between the semicircles is straight, the diameter for that one is 4cm as well.

The radius is equal to half of the diameter. The diameter is 4cm, so the radius is 4cm/2 = 2cm

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

His friends snack was 6 dollars.

17.25+1.25= 19

1/6 of 30 is 5 because 5x6=30.

30-19=11

He has to have 5 left over so the snack was 6 dollars.
