Kamila has a rectangular lawn that measures 80 by 150 feet. She wants to lay gravel made from colored rock in a border, 6 feet w

ide, all around the lawn. Create a diagram that shows Kamila’s rectangular lawn and the gravel border. Assign variables to any unknown sides and label the diagram. Use your diagram to determine how many square feet of the gravel border will surround the lawn. Kamila decided that the depth of the gravel needs to be 2 inches. What is the total volume of gravel needed for the border? (Hint: dimensions must be in terms of the same unit before you can calculate the volume) D. A large bag of colored rock contains of a cubic yard and costs $30. What is the total cost of the rocks needed for the border? (Hint: the volume of the border must be in terms of a cubic yard before you can calculate the cost)

A) Diagram

Below is a sketch of the recctangular lawn (the inside rectangle) and the gravel border.


  6 ft + 150 yards + 6 ft
-------------------------------
|                                    |
|     ---------------------      |
|     |                        |     |
|     |                        |     |   6 ft + 80 yard + 6 ft
|     |                        |     |
|      ---------------------     |
|                                    |
|------------------------------|

B) How many square feet of the gravel will surround the lawn?

Conversion: 1 yard = 3 feet

=> 80 yard = 80*3 feet = 240 feet

=> 150 yard = 150 * 3 feet = 450 feet

Area of the external rectangle = (6 ft + 240 ft + 6 ft) (6 ft + 450 ft + 6 ft) = 252 ft * 462 ft = 116,424 ft^2

Area of the internal rectangle = 240 ft * 450 ft = 108,000 ft^2

Area of the gravel border = 116,424 ft^2 - 108,000 ft^2 = 8424 ft^2

answer: 8424 ft^2

C) volume

volume = area of the base * depth

2 inches = 2/12 ft = 1/6 ft

=> volume = 8424 ft^2 * 1/6 ft = 1404 ft^3

answer: 1404 ft^3

C) cost

1 yard^3 = $ 30

1yard ^3 = (3 feet)^3 = 27 ft^3

=> cost = $ 30 / 27 ft^3

=> 1404 ft^3 * $30 / 27 ft^3 = $ 1560

answer: $ 1560

The data below represents the number of customers at each Slurpee Sam's Spaghetti Shop. 24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34. Whic
NeX [460]

Answer:

A summary of the data is as follows;

1. Maximum = 34

2. Minimum = 24

3. The 1st quartile is 27

4. The median is or the 2nd quartile 34

5. The 3rd quartile is 33

The data is summarized in the attached box plot

Step-by-step explanation:

24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34

From the given data, we have the five values of a box and whisker plot as follows;

1. Maximum = 34

2. Minimum = 24

3. The 1st quartile is the \frac{9 + 1}{4} th term or 27

4. The median (2nd quartile) is the \frac{9 + 1}{2} th term or 34

5. The 3rd quartile is the \frac{3(9 + 1)}{4} th term or 33

Hence the attached box plot summarizes the data.

J(–6, 2) and K(3, 2) are the endpoints of the base of an isosceles triangle. Give the x-coordinate of the third vertex.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot J and K in a coordinate plane, you see that the line formed is a perfectly horizontal line through y = 2.  In order for this triangle to be an isosceles, the third x-coordinate would have to be located midway through the x-coordinates of the base.  The midpoint between the x-coordinates is found by adding the 2 x-coordinates and dividing the sum by 2.  -6+\3 = -3 and -3/2 = -3/2.  So the x-coordinate is -3.2 or -1.5

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

5 pints per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Morning:

Given:

Number of strawberries packed in every 4 minutes = 3

∴ Number of strawberries packed in every one minute = \frac{3}{4}

So, number of strawberries packed in every 60 minutes = \frac{3}{4}\times 60=45

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So, strawberries are packed at a rate of 45 pints per hour in the morning.

Afternoon:

Number of strawberries packed in every 3 minutes = 2

∴ Number of strawberries packed in every one minute = \frac{2}{3}

So, number of strawberries packed in every 60 minutes = \frac{2}{3}\times 60=40

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So, strawberries are packed at a rate of 40 pints per hour in the afternoon.

Difference between the packing rates is given as:

Morning rate - Afternoon rate = 45 - 40 = 5 pints per hour.

So, she packed 5 more pints in one hour in the morning than in the afternoon.
