The Sahara Desert has an area of approximately 9,400,400 km2. While estimates of its average depth vary, they center around 150

m. One cm3 holds approximately 8,000 grains of sand.
e) A small dump truck can carry approximately 20.5 m3 of sand. Suppose a long line of dump trucks were to dump a load of sand every 30 seconds. How many years would it take to re-create the Sahara Desert?

It would take 65433661 years to re-create the Sahara Desert

<h3>How many years would it take to re-create the Sahara Desert?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Surface area = 9,400,400 km^2

Depth = 150 m

This means that the volume is

Volume = Surface area * Depth

So, we have

Volume = 9,400,400 km^2 * 150 m

Express as meter square

Volume = 9,400,400 * 1000000 m^2 * 150 m

Evaluate the product

Volume = 9,400,400 * 150,000,000 m^3

A small dump holds 20.5 m^3 for 30 seconds.

So, the duration is:

Time = (9,400,400 * 150,000,000 m^3)/(20.5 m^3 per 30 seconds)

Evaluate the product and quotient

Time =  2.0635024e+15 seconds

1 second = 3.171e-8 year.

So, we have:

Time =  2.0635024e+15 * 3.171e-8 year

Evaluate the product

Time = 65433661.104 years

Approximate

Time = 65433661 years

Hence, it would take 65433661 years to re-create the Sahara Desert

What is the surface area 1ft 1ft 1ft?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

6 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the object in question is a cube, then we could say the length is 1, the depth is 1 and the height is 1, in which case each side of the cube has an area of 1 ft^2.  

There are 6 such sides, so the total surface area is 6 ft^2.

Next time please be explicit in naming the shape, either verbally or with a diagram.
