None of those are correct. the answer would be $3 x^{2} -24x+36=180$ .

you can draw a picture of the garden space, where x is the width of the space, 3x is the length. to account for the 3 inch border you need to subtract 3 from both ends, so the width of his garden is then x-6, and the length is 3x-6.

multiplying these together, which is the formula for area, gets you $3 x^{2} -24x+36=180$ .

A jar contains 6 yellow marbles, 14 red marbles, and 7 green marbles. what is the probability of selecting a red or yellow marbl

Mama L [17]

Add all the marbles up: 6 + 14 + 7 = 27 marbles
There are 6 yellow marbles and 14 red marbles. 6 + 14 = 20

The probability of selecting a red/yellow marble is a 20 out of 27 chance.

someone please explain to me how to find the area PLEASE! Find the area and perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD below. Explain your

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Part A) The area of the figure is $24\ units^{2}$

Part B) The perimeter of the figure is $20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the figure

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of triangle ABD plus the area of triangle BCD

The area of triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

Area of triangle ABD

Observing the graph

$b=BD=(-2+8)=6\ units$

$h=(9-5)=4\ units$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)=12\ units^{2}$

Area of triangle BCD

Observing the graph

$b=BD=(-2+8)=6\ units$

$h=(5-1)=4\ units$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)=12\ units^{2}$

The area of the figure is

$12\ units^{2}+12\ units^{2}=24\ units^{2}$

step 2

Find the perimeter of the figure

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+AD$

we have

$A(-5,1),B(-8,5),C(-5,9),D(-2,5)$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Find the distance AB

$d=\sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(-8+5)^{2}}=5\ units$

Find the distance BC

$d=\sqrt{(9-5)^{2}+(-5+8)^{2}}=5\ units$

Find the distance CD

$d=\sqrt{(5-9)^{2}+(-2+5)^{2}}=5\ units$

Find the distance AD

$d=\sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(-2+5)^{2}}=5\ units$

substitute the values

$P=5+5+5+5=20\ units$

<h3>Volume:</h3>

With this prism, first separate it into a rectangular prism and a right triangle prism.

First, with the rectangular prism, it would have the units 5 * 5 * 6.3. Then with the right triangle prism, it would take the rest of the remaining space of it, being 3 * 5 * 6.3

The equation for the volume of a rectangular prism is L*W*H and the equation for the volume of a right triangle prism is (L*W*H) / 2.

With this, plug the numbers in for both prisms to get the volume of each of them:

Rectangular prism Volume

5*5*6.3

157.5

Right triangle prism Volume

(3*5*6.3) / 2

94.5 / 2

47.25

Lastly, combine these two values to get the total volume:

157.5 + 47.25 = 204.75 (Round Up) -->

204.8 cm^3 = Total Volume

<h3>Surface Area:</h3>

Next, with the surface area of the prism. For this, lets combine all of the faces of the prism then add them all up.

First, lets do the bottom of the prism, or the base. It uses the lengths 8 cm and 6.3 cm. Lets do L * W to get the area of this face:

8 * 6.3 = 50.4

Next, lets do the slant side of it, which has the lengths 5.8 and 6.3.

5.8 * 6.3 = 36.54

Then, the top side with the lengths 5cm and 6.3 cm.

5.3 * 6.3 = 33.39

After that, the left side face that opposite to the slantly one:

5 * 6.3 = 31.5

Saving the most tedious part of it for last, the right trapezoids. Luckily, there is an equation for this:

1/2 x (Sum of parallel sides) x (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides).

So, within each of these right trapezoids, there's the parallel sides of 5 and 8. There's also a perpendicular side of 5cm. With this, we can plug this into the equation to solve for this part:

1/2 x (5+8) * (5)

1/2 x (13) * (5)

1/2 x (65)

32.5

Since there's two of them, times this by 2:

32.5 * 2 ---> 65.

Now, with the area of all of the faces, these can be added up for the total surface area:

50.4 + 36.54 + 33.39 + 31.5 + 65 ---> 216.83 (Round Down)-->

216.8 cm^2 = Total Surface Area

Find the value of 8(4+3)-21 divided by7

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us simplify the expression on the left

8(4+3) - 21 = 8(7) - 21 = 8(7) - 3(7) = 7(8-3)

Divide this by 7 and you'll get 8-3 = 5

Answer:

25 to the power of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

we got 25 schools ordering newspapers for 25 classes of 25 kids. that's 25x25x25. it wants the number of pages total, and since there's 25 pages in each newspaper we add another 25. so it's 25x25x25x25, also known as 25 to the power of 3.
