First we calculate the volume of the foundation:

Volume (V) = 20 ft * 12 ft * 4 in (1 ft / 12 in)

V = 80 ft^3

 

Since the cost is in cubic yard (yard^3) so convert:

V = 80 ft^3 * (1 yard^3 / 27 ft^3) = 2.963 yard^3

 

So the total cost is:

cost = ($125 / yard^3) * 2.963 yard^3

<span>cost = $370.37</span>

Answer:

$370.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a general contractor is constructing a building that requires a concrete foundation that is to be 20 feet by 12 feet and 4 inches thick.

First of all, we will convert the given dimensions of foundation in yards.

\text{3 feet}=\text{1 yard}

20\text{ feet}=\frac{20}{3}\text{ yards}

12\text{ feet}=\frac{12}{3}\text{ yards}

\text{36 inches}=\text{1 yard}

\text{4 inches}=\frac{4}{36}\text{ yards}=\frac{1}{9}\text{ yards}

Since the foundation of building is in form of cuboid, so volume of foundation will be the product of 3 sides.

\text{Volume of foundation}=\frac{20}{3}\text{ yards}\times \frac{12}{3}\text{ yards}\times \frac{1}{9}\text{ yards}

\text{Volume of foundation}=\frac{20\times 12\times 1}{3\times 3 \times 9}\text{ yards}^3

\text{Volume of foundation}=\frac{240}{81}\text{ yards}^3

\text{Volume of foundation}=2.962962962962963\text{ yards}^3

Since the local home supply store sells concrete for $125 per cubic yard, so the cost of the concrete for the foundation will be the volume of foundation times $125.

\text{The cost of the concrete for the foundation}=2.962962962962963\text{ yards}^3\times \frac{\$125}{\text{ yards}^3}

\text{The cost of the concrete for the foundation}=\$370.37037\approx \$370.37

Therefore, the cost of the concrete for the foundation is $370.37.

How do you solve a system of linear equations by graphing? ​
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.

<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

__

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.

The equation of a function is y = 10 – 9x.Find the value of x when
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

x = 2, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 10 - 9x is a linear equation and the value of either y or x can be found by substituting the given values of either y or x.

given that y = -8, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,

we have, -8 = 10 - 9x

10 + 8 = 9x

9x = 18; dividing both sides by 9

x = 2

given that y = -26, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,

we have, -26 = 10 - 9x

10 + 26 = 9x

9x = 36; dividing both sides by 9

x = 4

Triangle DEF has vertices D(−4, 1), E(2, 3), and F(2, 1) and is dilated by a factor of 3 using the point (1, 1) as the point of
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: D'(-14,1);\ E'(4,7);\ F'(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the center of dilation is not at the origin, we can use the following formula in order to find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle D'E'F':

D_{O,k}(x,y)=(k(x-a)+a, k(y-b)+b)

Where "O" is the center of dilation at (a,b) and "k" is the scale factor.

In this case you can identify that:

(a,b)=(1,1)\\k=3

Therefore, susbtituting values into the formula shown above, you get that the coordinates ot the resulting triangle D'E'F, are the following:

Vertex D' → (3(-4-1)+1,\ 3(1-1)+1)=(-14,1)

Vertex E' → (3(2-1)+1,\ 3(3-1)+1)=(4,7)

Vertex F' → (3(2-1)+1,\ 3(1-1)+1)=(4,1)
