The amount of stone in each sidewalk is 3/16

<h3>How to determine the amount of stone in each sidewalk?</h3>

The given parameters are

Stones = 3/4 tons

Side walks = 4

The amount of stone in each sidewalk is calculated using

Amount = Stones/Side walks

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Amount = 3/4 / 4

Evaluate the quotient

Amount = 3/16

Hence, the amount of stone in each sidewalk is 3/16

pls solve quickly!: It took a boat 2 hours to reach town A going upstream. The way back was 1h20 min. What is the speed of the b
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Boat took 2 hours to reach Town A going upstream.

           Speed of stream= 3 mph

           Time taken to reach back home= 1 hours 20 minutes

Lets assume distance covered one side be "d" and speed of boat in still water be "s".

∴ Speed of boat in upstream= (s-3) \ mph

   Speed of boat in downstream= (s+3)\ mph

Also converting into fraction of time taken to reach back home.

Remember; 1 hour= 60 minutes

∴ Time taken to reach back home= 60+20= 80\ minutes

Converting time given into fraction= \frac{80\ minutes}{60\ minutes} = \frac{4}{3} \ hours

hence, Time taken to reach back home is \frac{4}{3} \ hours

Now forming equation of boat travelling upstream and downstream, considering distance remain constant.

We know, Distance= speed \times  time

⇒ (s-3)\times 2= (s+3)\times \frac{4}{3}

Using distributive property of multiplication

⇒2s-6= \frac{4}{3}s +4

subtracting both side by \frac{4}{3} s

⇒2s-\frac{4}{3} s-6= 4

Adding both side by 6

⇒ 2s-\frac{4}{3} s= 10

taking LCD as 3

⇒ \frac{2}{3} s= 10

Multiplying both side by \frac{3}{2}

⇒s= \frac{3}{2} \times 10

∴s= 15 mph

Hence, 15 mph is the speed of the boat in still water.

How do I solve this?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = 25 ft

height = 8 ft

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2}*base * height\\\\

                           = \frac{1}{2}*25 *8\\\\= 25 * 4\\\\= 100 ft^{2}

How would you go about finding the area and perimeter of a composite figure?
fgiga [73]

Explanation:

The area is the sum of the areas of the non-overlapping parts. The figure is called "composite" because it is composed of figures whose area formulas you know. Decompose the figure into those, find the area of each, then sum those areas to find the area of the whole.

<u>For example</u>

If the figure consists of a rectangle and semicircle, find the areas of each of those. Then add the areas together to find the total area.

__

Likewise, the perimeter of a composite figure will be the sum of the "exposed" perimeters of the parts. (Some edges of the figures making up the composition will be internal, so do not count toward the perimeter of the composite figure.)

<u>For example</u>

If the curved edge of the semicircle of the figure described in the example above is part of the perimeter, then its length will be half the circumference of a circle. If the straight edge of the semicircle is "internal" and not a part of the perimeter, its length (the diameter of the semicircle) may need to be partially or wholly subtracted from the perimeter of the rectangle, depending on the actual arrangement of the composite figure. In other words, add up the lengths of the edges that "show."

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

In the above, we have described how to add the areas of parts of the figure. In some cases, it can be easier to identify a larger figure, or one that is more "complete", then subtract the areas of the parts that aren't there. For example, an L-shaped figure can be decomposed into two rectangles. Or it can be decomposed into a larger rectangle covering the entire outside dimensions, from which a smaller rectangle is subtracted to leave the L-shape. Depending on how dimensions are shown, one computation or the other may be easier.

Likewise, for the purposes of computing the perimeter, lines of the figure may be rearranged in any convenient way, as long as their total length doesn't change. The L-shape just described will have a perimeter exactly equal to the perimeter of the rectangle that encloses its outside dimensions, for example. You can see this if you move the two lines forming the concave edges.

Familiarity with area formulas can help with area. For example, you know that the area of a triangle is the same as that of a rectangle half the height. Likewise, the area of a trapezoid is the area of a rectangle with the same height and a width equal to the midline of the trapezoid.
