The whole ends up being 42 ft².
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height.
So that lil triangle piece is 1/2 * 2 * 3 = 1/2 * 6 = 3
Now we do the rectangle piece. Area of a rectangle = length * width
So that rectangle is 3 * 7 = 21
If you take away those two, you are left with a trapezoid.
Area of a trapezoid is 1/2 * (base 1 + base 2) * height
Base 1 is the width of the rectangle which is 3. Base 2 is the 6. The height is the given 11 feet minus the 7 feet from the length of the rectangle which is 4.
Plug all this in to the formula you get 1/2 * (6 + 3) * 4 = 1/2 * 9 * 4 = 1/2 * 36 = 18.
Now add all of your areas together;
21 + 3 + 18 = 24 + 18 = 42
Answer:
8 sand bags
Step-by-step explanation:
300 - 140 = 160
160 ÷ 20 = 8
8 sand bags of 20-pounds each.
Answer:
x =4
Step-by-step explanation:
x/y = 1/2
(x + 2) / (y + 1) = 2/3
Cross multiply the first equation
2x = y
Put that value for y into the second equation.
(x + 2) / (2x + 1) = 2/3 Cross multiply
3(x + 2) = 2(2x + 1) Remove the brackets.
3x + 6 = 4x + 2 Subtract 3x from both sides
6 = 4x - 3x + 2
6 = x + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides
6-2 = x
x = 4
Answer:
-8a times 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be thought of as -8a/1 times 1/9. (1/9 is the reciprocal of 9, so were just pulling the fraction apart)
Answer: He has planted 2/3 and there is 1/3 left to plant.
Explanation: You need to add your fractions together, because each of those is a section of the garden and you need the total of how much of the garden he has planted.
This isn’t too difficult because the denominators are the same.
5/12 + 3/12 = 8/12
It is 8/12 because since the denominators are the same, you just need to add the numerators. Imagine you have a pie that’s cut into 12 pieces, and you and your friends take 5, and then your family takes 3. How many or gone now? 8 pieces. From how many pieces? 12 pieces. So 8/12 pieces are gone.
So Peter has planted 8/12 of his garden. This however, can be simplified, because both of those numbers divide by 4.
8/4 = 2
12/4 = 3
So 8 is now 2, and 12 is now 3.
This is now 2/3.
If there is 2/3 gone, you need to figure out how much is left to get you to 1.
In this instance, 1 can be rewritten as 3/3, because 3 divided by 3 is 1.
In order to get from 2/3 to 1, you need to add 1/3, one more third to the two thirds you already have.
This means Peter has 1/3 left to plant.
Hope this helps :)
