The number of earnings towards social security should be $1,890.

According to the statement

We have to find that the security out of their gross wages.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

Gross pay refers to the amount used to calculate the wages of an employee or salary.

From the given information:

The employers in 2012 paid 4.2%.

The employer should paid 6.2%.

And, the earning should be $45,000.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

4.2% * 45,000

= $1,890

Therefore, we will conclude that the number of earnings towards social security should be $1,890.

A training field is formed by joining a rectangle and two semicircles, as shown below. The rectangle is 89m long and 70m wide.
Sindrei [870]

Step One

Find the area of the rectangle

Area = L * W

Area = 89 cm * 70 cm

Area = 6230 cm^2

Step Two

What is the formula for the two end semicircles?

Two semicircles = 1 whole circle

Area of any circle = pi * r^2

Step Three

Find the area of the circle

r = the width / 2     This may not be true. You need the diagram. If the circles are drawn on the length then use r = the length / 2

r = 70/2  = 35 cm

Area of circle = pi * r^2

Area of circle = 3.14 * 35^2

Area of circle = 3846.5

Step Four

Find the total area

The total area = Area of the rectangle + area of circle

The total area = 6230 + 3846.5

The total area = 10076.5 cm^2 <<<< Answer

Amber is starting a garden. She plants 2 flowers the first month. The next month, she plans three times more flowers (6 flowers)
Artist 52 [7]
This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:
&#10;\begin{tabular}{lll}&#10;Month & Number of flowers planted & Different form            \\&#10;1     & 2                         & 2\cdot3^0 \\&#10;2     & 6                         & 2\cdot3^1 \\&#10;3     & 18                        & 2\cdot3^2 \\&#10;4     & 54                        & 2\cdot3^3&#10;\end{tabular}&#10;\end{table}
The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:
N=2\cdot3^{n-1}
This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.

The area of a square for on a scale drawing of 100 square centimeters and the scale drawing to 1 cm: 2 feet what is the area of
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1.\boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}; 2. \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the area of the floor

If the area A₁ of a square floor on the scale drawing is 100 cm², the length of a side is 10 cm.

The side length l of the actual floor is  

l = 10 cm × (2 ft/1 cm) = 20 ft

The area A₂ of the floor is  

A = l² = (20 ft)² = \boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}\\

Step 2. Calculate the area ratios

We must express both areas in the same units.  

Let's express the area of the room in square centimetres.

l = 20 ft ×  (12 in/1 ft) = 240 in

l = 240 in × (2.54 cm/1 in) = 609.6 cm

A₂ = l² = (609.6 cm)² = 371 612 cm²

The area A₁ on the scale drawing is 100 cm².

The ratio of the areas is

\frac{A_{1}}{ A_{2}} = \frac{100}{371612} = \frac{1 }{3716}\\

The ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area is \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

2 questions in the 2 pictures and then im done thank you
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Hey there!

For the first question we use the triangle area formula: 1/2bh, or 1/2(8)(5). This gives us 20 for the area.

For the second question we get a trapezoid, since the cross section does not pass through the vertex.

Hope this helps :)
