Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion and calculation of areas
The area of a rectangle is A=wh, where w is the width and h is the height. There are 3 feet in one yard
a)
We are told Kalie put 6 stickers, each one of 1/2 centimeters (0.5 cm) wide by 3/5 (0.6 cm) centimeter long. The area of one sticker is
A=(0.5)(0.6)=0.3
Assuming there is no overlapping, the 6 stickers have a total area
6*0.3 =1.8
b)
Each of Elana's wrapping papers measures 2/5 yards long and 1/4 yard wide. Converting them to feet we have
long=2/5*3=1.2 feet
wide=1/4*3=0.75 feet
Area of each paper=1.2 feet*0.75 feet=0.9
Area of the entire board, assuming no overlapping and no space left uncovered=4*0.9
Area of board=3.6
The value (y2) of r = 1/2.
This question relates to equation of a straight line but we are looking for the slope in this case.
<h3>Slope</h3>This is the ratio to which we measure the change along the y-axis to the change along the x-axis. The formula is given as
Data given;
- x1 = 3
- x2 = -3
- y1 = 5
- y2 = r
- m = 34 or 3/4
Substitute the values into the equation and solve for the unknown
NB; we are assuming that the slope here is 34 and not 3/4.
cross multiply both sides and make r the subject of formula
the value of r = -199.
This is not mathematically obtainable and we would use 3/4 as the value of slope
The most logical value of r = 1/2
