Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the area of the pen, then divide that by the area required by each dog.

__

The relationship between circumference and radius is ...

  C = 2πr

Solving for r gives ...

  r = C/(2π)

The relationship between radius and area of a circle is ...

  A = πr²

Substituting for r from above gives ...

  A = π(C/(2π))² = C²/(4π)

Filling in the given numbers, we find the area of the pen to be ...

  A = (78.5 ft)²/(4·3.14) = 490.625 ft²

__

Dividing the pen area by the area per dog gives the number of dogs the pen can hold:

  (490.625 ft²)/(60 ft²/dog) ≈ 8.18 dogs

The pen can safely keep 8 dogs.

Answer like gauss 1+3+5+7+...=999
raketka [301]

1+3+5+7+...+999 =

= 1+2+3+4+...+500

     +1+2+3+...+499

= 2·(1+2+3+...+499) + 500

= 2·(499·500)/2 + 500

= 499·500 + 500

= 500·(499 + 1)

= 500·500

= 250.000

-4m-7=17 solve for the variable m
galina1969 [7]
-4m = 17+7
-4m = 24
(leave m alone and positive)

-4m/ -4 = 24/-4
m= -6

Hope it helps!

What is the perimeter of a rectangular garden with a width of 24 feet and a diagonal of 40 feet?
elena55 [62]
Drawing it out, as seen, using the Pythagorean theorem we get that w^2+l^2 (with w=width and l=length)=diagonal^2=24^2+l^2=40^2. Subtracting 24^2 from both sides, we get 40^2-24^2=l^2=1024. Square rooting both sides, we get l=32. Since the perimeter is 2w+2l, we get 32*2+24*2=64+48=112
