Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if she used 1 feet of ribbon for 3 bows you need to multiply by 4 to 1 foot and you will get 12 bows

Answer:

4 feet of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Because she uses 1 feet of ribbon for each 3 bows, we can create a fraction.

1 ft / 3 bows = x ft / 12 bows

Cross multiplying, we get: 3x = 12

Divide by 3 and we get x = 4 (x in this case is in feet)

Hello!

To solve this problem, we must:

  1. Solve for the length of the fence (aka height)
  2. Find the area of the lawn (trapezoid)
  3. Find the number of cans needed
  4. Find the price of all the cans

Area of a trapezoid, and why the formula works:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides known as bases. The other two sides are known as the legs.

To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:

\frac{B_1 + B_2}{2}* h

This works because if we used the formula, we would be duplicating the trapezoid to form a rectangle with a side length of B1 + B2, and a height of h. Since the trapezoid is half of that, we divide by 2.

Solve for height:

The height is unknown but can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The difference between the bases is the length of the bottom leg of the right triangle, and 17 is the hypotenuse.

Difference = 20 - 12 = 8

Hypotenuse = 17

  • 8² + fence² = 17²
  • 64 + fence² = 289
  • 225 = fence²
  • fence = 15

The height is 15

Solve for area:

Now we can solve for the area.

  • A = \frac{B_1 + B_2}{2} * h
  • A = \frac{12 + 20}{2} * 15
  • A = \frac{32}{2} * 15
  • A = 16 * 15 = 240

The area is 240

Cans:

The area of the lawn is 240 square meters. Each can cover 100 square meters.

  • 240 ÷ 100 = 2.4

Since we can't use part of a can, we round up to three whole cans.

The price of 3 cans :

  • 3 * 19.75
  • 59.25

£59.25

The Pythagorean Theorem:

The Pythagorean theorem is a very common geometry formula used to find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, given the lengths of the two other bases.

The formula is : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

  • a is a leg
  • b is a leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

James invests $5,072 in a savings account
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$13087.92

Step-by-step explanation:

formula: ab^x

a= starting  amount

a= 5072

b= 1+r

r=rate

r=9%=0.09

b=1+0.09 =1.09

x= 11 (years)

account after 11 years:

= 5072(1.09)^11

=13087.9227277

= 13087.92
