Answer:

  84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves several steps. The first step is to realize that the given figure does not show the required number of vertical stringers. It shows 5, but there will be 7 of them. The given diagram is helpful in that it shows a vertical stringer on the centerline of the arches.

The second step is to write a function that will tell you how long the stringer will be. I find it convenient to write the equation for an arch shape such as this using the parent function h(x) = 1-x^2. This parent function gives an arch of height 1 and width 1 from center (a total width of 2). You want an arch that is 16 ft high and 40 ft wide (one side from center), so you must scale this parent function both horizontally (by 40) and vertically (by 16). It becomes ...

  H(x) = 16(1 -(x/40)^2)

The taller arch is twice this height, so the length of a vertical stringer at position x is

  vertical length = 2H(x) -H(x) = H(x)

That is, the function H(x) we defined can be used to find the length of the stringers.

The third step is to find the stringer lengths. It can save some energy if you realize that the problem is symmetrical, so that the stringer at x=-30 is the same length as the one at x=30. We need to find stringer lengths every 10 feet from -40 feet to +40 feet. Of course, the ones at ±40 feet are zero length, because that is where the two arches meet.

  H(-30) = 16(1 -(3/4)^2) = 7

  H(-20) = 16(1 -(1/2)^2) = 12

  H(-10) = 16(1 -(1/4)^2) = 15

  H(0) = 16

Then the fourth step is to add up the stringer lengths, rounding the result as required.

  7 +12 +15 +16 +15 +12 +7 = 16 + 2(34) = 84 . . . . feet (no rounding needed)

Finally, you need to answer the question asked:

  The sum of vertical stringer lengths is 84 feet.

KIM [24]

Answer:

<em>1885.5 m^3 of water</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume this is the complete question

<em>Lauren has an above-ground pool. To keep the pool's skimmer working well, the water level must be 4 inches from the top of the pool. When the pool is filled to this recommended level, approximately how many cubic feet of water will it contain? Use π = 3.14 </em>

<u><em>The pool forms</em></u><em> a cylinder with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 4.5 feet.</em>

<em></em>

height of pool = 4.5 ft

radius of pool12^{2} = 12 ft

height of water is 4 inches below pool top

<em>12 inches make 1 ft</em>

4 inches = 4/12 ft = 0.33 ft

Therefore, height of water = 4.5 - 0.33 = 4.17 ft

<em>volume of the water in this section of the cylinder will be equal to the volume of the cylinder formed</em>

volume of cylinder formed by the water = volume of water = πr^{2}h

volume = 3.14  x 12^{2} x 4.17 = <em>1885.5 m^3 of water</em>

If you used 3/4 of the blue paint to make flames on one of the cars, and need 7 3/4 pints of blue paint to paint another car, wh

3/4 of 7 pints were used. of, in this case, means to multiply. 3/4 x 7= 21/4= 5 and 1/4 pints. Now we subtract 5 and 1/4 (because this is how much was used) from 7. 7- 5 and 1/2 = 1 and 1/2

What is the length? In algebra DUE TOMORROW
Mamont248 [21]
The formula for volume is V=lhw, or length times height times weight. To find the length, you divide the volume by the height and width. 

In this case, divide 3,060 first by 12, the height, then by 15, the width.

3,060/12=255
255/15=17

The length is 17.
