A family plans to have the hardwood floors in their square dining room re-finished, and new baseboards installed. The cost of re

-finishing the hardwood floors is $2.25 per square foot and the cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards $14.5 per linear foot. If the family paid $1773, you have to find out dimensions of the room.

Answer:

Dimension of room = 18 foot x 18 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square room is of side a foot,

The cost of re-finishing the hardwood floors is $2.25 per square foot and the cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards $14.5 per linear foot

Total cost is $1773.

Cost for re-finishing the hardwood floors = Area x 2.25

Area = a²

Cost for re-finishing the hardwood floors = 2.25 a²

Cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards = Perimeter x 14.5

Perimeter = 4a

Cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards = 4a x 14.5 = 58 a

Total cost = Cost for re-finishing the hardwood floors + Cost of purchasing and installing the new baseboards

1773 = 2.25 a² + 58a

2.25 a² + 58a - 1773 = 0

a = 18 or a = -43.77(not possible)

Dimension of room = 18 foot x 18 foot

a cone with a radius of 3” has a total area of 24pie square inches. Find the volume of the cone. 12pie, 24 pie or 15 pie

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$12\pi (inches)^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

radius of cone = 3 inch

Total area of cone = $24\pi (inch)^{2}$

Find the volume of the cone?

We know the area of cone = $\pi r(r+s)$ -------(1)

Where r = radius

Ans s = side of the cone

Put the area value in equation 1

$24\pi=\pi r(r+s)$ -------(1)

$\frac{24\pi }{\pi r} =r+s$

$\frac{24}{ r}-r =s$

Put r value in above equation.

$s =\frac{24}{ 3}-3$

$s=8-3$

$s=5$

The side s = 5 inches

We know the side of the cone formula

$s^{2}=r^{2}+ h^{2}$

$h^{2}=s^{2}- r^{2}$

Put r and s value in above equation.

$h^{2}=5^{2}- 3^{2}$

$r^{2} = 25-9$

$r^{2} = 16$

$r = 4$

The volume of cone is

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

Put r and h value in above equation.

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (3)^{2}\times 4$

$V = 12\pi (inches)^{2}$

The Volume of the cone is $12\pi (inches)^{2}$

Graphing linear equations

ella [17]

Answer:

To ensure uniformity on an exam

Or

To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:

$ax + by = c$

Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is

$2x - y = - 4$

The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:

$y = mx + c$

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The given equation is

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 5$

This is already in slope-intercept form:

The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.

Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.

You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.

(image is question) ................................

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're going to double x^2, you just need to multiply it by 2. You can just put the 2 in front of the x^2 because the order of operations says to do exponents before multiplication.
