A pasture is twice as long as it is wide. its area is 88,200 ft2. how wide is the pasture?

1 answer:

4 0

If the width is w and the length is l, then 2w=l. In addition, l*w=88200 (using the area formula). Plugging 2w in for l, we get 2w*w=88200=2w^2. Dividing both sides by 2, we get w^2=44100 and w=sqrt(44100)=210.

Find the volume of the garden shed

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

47.3 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden shed is made up of a rectangular prism and a pyramid.

<h3><u>Volume of a rectangular prism</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a rectangular prism}&=\sf width \times length \times height\\&=4 \times 4 \times 2\\&=16 \times 2\\&=32\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of a pyramid</u></h3>

<u />

From inspection of the given diagram, the slant height of the pyramid is 3.5 m.

Calculate the perpendicular height of the pyramid using Pythagoras Theorem:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a^2+b^2&=c^2\\2^2+h^2&=3.5^2\\h^2&=8.25\\h&=\sqrt{8.25}\;\; \sf m\end{aligned}$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a pyramid}&=\dfrac{\sf length \times width \times height}{3}\\\\&=\dfrac{\sf 4 \times 4 \times \sqrt{8.25}}{3}\\\\& = 15.31883372\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of the garden shed</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume of shed}&=\textsf{Volume of rectangular prism}+\textsf{Volume of pyramid}\\&=32+15.31883372\\& = 47.3\;\; \sf m^3\;(nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}$

Mila [183]

The answer is 56! How you do this, is you take 80, and you multiply it by 7. Then you divide that answer by 10. Then you have your answer! I’m really bad at math but I do know how to do that!
